Support for Danielle Padilla

Our beautiful, 22-year-old niece, Danielle Padilla, and her devoted husband Frankie, need your help!

Throughout her life, Danielle has been afflicted by a multitude of serious comorbidities primarily due to a genetic disease known as Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Despite her challenges, Danielle has persevered . Upon graduating from High School, she began pursuing her dream to become a nurse, working as a Patient Care Technician at Clovis Community Hospital and was also a full-time, straight-A student at Clovis Community College. Her kind and gentle spirit and passion for helping others is extraordinary!

In 2021, Danielle's health started to drastically decline after receiving the covid vaccine. In addition, she also battled a serious covid infection that year. Many of her underlying health issues have been greatly exasperated and her current health diagnoses are overwhelming. Here are just a few of the many conditions that she is battling:

A progressive genetic disease that has put Danielle into a wheelchair. She has an inability to create and absorb collagen, resulting in very painful, debilitating, connective tissue loss, leading to frequent joint dislocation throughout her body. This disease also causes major organ damage and affects her ability to perform basic daily functions, such as walking, washing her hair, and even chewing and digesting food.

This includes superventricular tachycardia, which has led to daily fainting episodes, countless concussions and an inability to sit up for long periods of time.

This is a condition that leads to fainting spells due to blood pressure and heart rate fluctuations that are often accompanied by muscle spasms.

It is heartbreaking to see Danielle living in excruciating pain every day. The systemic inflammatory response that is taking place inside her body has led us to seek drastic and innovative medical breakthroughs.

We have found an incredible Internal Medical physician in Southern California, Dr. Mark Ghalili (https://regenerativemedicinela.com/) Dr. Ghalili specializes in regenerative medicine using IV and Stem Cell Therapy. We have personally spoken to Dr. Ghalili and his staff and they are confident they can help improve Danielle's quality of life.

Dr. Ghalili's therapy is extremely expensive and we are attempting to raise $45,000 to help support her treatments which will begin in June. Danielle will travel to Los Angeles for her first treatment and she will be required to stay there for at least two weeks. All money raised will be used to pay for Dr. Ghalili's treatments and also for the exorbitant medical bills that she has already incurred and any future treatments that may be required.

Danielle is the bravest girl we know. She is an absolute angel, and regardless of the long-term outcome of these afflictions, her hope and faith remain strong in the Lord.

Danielle is first and foremost seeking your prayers. Should you feel compelled to give, she would be humbled and grateful for any financial assistance offered to her on this journey.

Thank you for taking the time to hear a small piece of Danielle's story, we appreciate all of your love and support!
