Please Help Support Single Mom w Chronic Illness
Donation protected
Please help in any way you can to support our sister Charlene, a single mom with chronic illness who is currently struggling to support her family.
Charlene was diagnosed at 17 years old with a severe case of Crohns Disease. Since then, she has spent the last 19 years struggling to lead a normal life, missing much of high school, unable to finish college, and struggling to have consistency in her career due to flare ups and frequent hospital stays, often multiple times per year. She has tried a multitude of medications and remedies with little luck in easing the pain, stress, and complications of this disease.
She is currently having a severe flare up and has been unable to work since September 2023. She has been struggling to pay for rent, bills, and necessities for herself and her seven-year-old daughter and has little external financial resources to support them during this difficult time. Charlene has started a new medication recently and goes for her second intervenous dose next week but still will not be feeling well for a couple of more months and that’s if the medication even works.
Our older sister is such a kind hearted, selfless person who rarely asks for help even when in desperate need. Anything is appreciated, whether thoughts, prayers, shares, donations, good vibes, or positive energy sent her way. 100% of any donations will be going towards bills and necessities! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
