Teretha's "MOVE TO SAVE HER LIFE"

Donation protected
Hello, I'm Derrick Neely and I'm writing this to tell my wife story and her struggle with her health and weight. My wife name is Teretha Hollis-Neely and she is a very sickle 48 year old loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend. She has been struggling with her weight gains and losses for over 15 years. She has been sick for the past four years. But, in Dec 2013 I almost lost my wife!! She almost made her transition (died). She suffered from "Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure". She has spent the past 18 1/2 months in and out of the hospital and rehab/nursing facilities due to her health. She is suffering from Super Morbid Obesity (her current weight is 608.5), Obstructive Asthma, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Venous Insufficiency, Lymphedema, IDDM (insulin dependant Diabetic), HTN (high blood pressure)and Complicated MDR UTI's. Due to all of her health issues she has spent the past year and a half in a hospital bed. She has been unable to stand nor take any steps due to the weakness in her legs and the chronic Lymphedema that she has on her legs and at the bottom of my stomach. She is on oxygen 24/7 and 1 year ago she had to have a Super Pubico Catheter in placed into her bladder. On top of it all I have my own health challenges. I go to dialysis 3 days a week and I runs 4 1/2 hrs each treatment. Then in the mist of all this I had to have my right foot&ankle AMPUTATED! Then 3 days after that I had to have surgery on my left ankle to remove some hardware that got infected. The hardware was placed there in Feb 2014 from when I slipped and fell and broke it. She wants to get back on her feet and get healthy so she can be able to take care of herself and me cause we all needs her! I am asking for some financial help/support in order for me and the family to move her to Texas. I have found a medical facility by which my wife and I can both benefit from. This facility help people that are SUPER MORBIDLY OBESE like she is and I can have my dialysis at the same hospital. This move to Texas, for her to be under this type of care will help her regain her life back but on a much healthier road. She is willing to do the hard work to getting and keeping this weight off!! In the pass four years she have missed out on so much. She missed the birth of our grandson, she missed so many family activities, all of the holidays with the entire family, she miss going to church, but most of all she miss being INDEPENDENT!! It's HARD being disabled and she wanna be here for her family &friends. So if you could/would support my wife cause I would consider it truly a BLESSING! GOD BLESS YOU
