URGENT HELP NEEDED FOR GERIANN-UPDATED
Donation protected
UPDATE 7/8/23 - GERIANN HAS NOW BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH TERMINAL CANCER!
My sister, Geriann, was born in 1966 with a severe birth defect of Myelomeningocele Spina Bifida, an opening at the base of the spine and undeveloped nerves and limbs, which lead to never being able to walk.
At that time her case was considered one of the most complicated cases in Wisconsin.
Within days of birth she went through surgery for hydrocephalus, a neurological disorder of fluid on the brain. She has endured many surgeries over the years; from urinary diversion leading to a stoma, to leg amputation, fighting MRSA from pressure, non-healing wounds, as a complication of being wheelchair bound her entire life.
Now she has been diagnosed with terminal cancer that has spread through her entire reproductive organs as well as her colon. Although the diagnosis is grim, she's hoping to make the most with the time she has left.
Geriann's expenses, and medical bills are climbing at an alarming rate and the system only goes so far in assisting her and I am hoping to raise $25,000 to help Geriann with mounting medical bills, living expenses, food, clothing and transportation costs to be able to get to her medical appointments during these troubling times.
