Help Makenzie overcome this tragic situation

Donation protected
Hello my name is Makenzie. I was in the hospital with an unexpected tragedy. I was in the hospital for about 2 weeks and 90% of the time I was completely unconscious. I was having consistent back to back seizures that lasted way too long and had my heart rate going over 200. At this point the doctors seen no progress, they were speechless because they could not figure out what was wrong. I was expected to die because of the condition I was in. One of my doctors didn’t give up on me and she knew in her heart that I was going to make it. I eventually woke up but I had no feeling in my legs, I honestly thought someone cut them off. So I stayed extra days, we had a physical therapist come in and help me try to do exercises but I couldn’t my legs were pretty much paralyzed… I wasn’t ready to give up hope yet so I tried and tried and tried and eventually I was able to walk sorta with help. I was released out of the hospital, and had to be in a wheelchair, after some days I switched to crutches by holding all my weight with my arms… eventually the crutches didn’t work and now my legs are back to being paralyzed. it’s starting to create numbness in my back as well… it feels like my condition is getting worse. I am dealing with crucial pain all through my body. Being back in a wheelchair, not able to work and starting to have loss of hope is the hardest part especially since I’m living alone it feels like I’m completely alone through this all. Learning how to do everything with the condition I’m in is frustrating and difficult From being able to walk and then the next day my life took a drastic change to not being able to walk leaves me speechless. Idk what Gods plans are but I’m hoping he continues to catch me when I’m at my weakest state.This injury has put me in an extreme depressive state, I’m hurting mentally and physically and not being able to find an immediate cure breaks me.

Therefor, I qualify for a service dog, my doctors and physical therapist agree with this idea and they say it can help me so much especially because I’m living on my own and going through this on my own and for my overall condition. The cost for service dogs are at a ridiculous amount of expensive , service dogs cost anywhere from $15,000-$30,000.

 I absolutely HATE asking for money but I am in need of help. For me a service dog will not only help me physically but emotionally as well, I am diagnosed epileptic , TBI, bilateral leg numbness, severe PTSD, major depressive disorder and Anxiety. Also service animals can be trained to help people who are handicapped and are in a wheelchair.

As my health is rapidly declining, Anything helps. Even if I don’t reach my goal for getting a service dog I still can use this on all of my medical bills and home bills. Either way I absolutely greatly appreciate every donation sent❤️  I apologize for taking up your time, thank you for reading my story. I love you all and keep your head held high always, never take the little things for granted and stay grateful and blessed!
