Just diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis
Donation protected
Hey there, my name is Rachel Barnes. I'm a 42yr old truck driver. At least I was before being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in late August 2023. My start with MS started in Dec of 2017 when I was team driving and my team partner flipped the truck over while I was on my break. Thing is, I didn't know that those injuries would start my journey with MS. Lesions on my brain and spine gave early symptoms which were too insignificant to be alarming. Now several years later I am numb from feet all the way up to my mid back. 24/7 I feel as though I'm encased in cement. Due to these physical limitations I have been deemed unable to drive an 18 wheeler anymore. Medical bills have quickly soared from all the tests and meds. I'd just started a new job a couple months before being diagnosed so im not eligible for short term disability. Simply put, I need help. Although I'm hoping to get back into a truck and drive across the country to bring you guys the things you need and want, it's not looking likely. Please donate whatever you can. I am grateful just to know you took the time to read my story. Please share
