Medical help needed

Dear friends and family,

Asking for help has never been an
easy thing for me to do but I do 
believe illness has many things to 
teach us. I have struggled with 
Adrenal fatigue off and on for most of my life yet because this is an illness that so many times goes undetected, has been misdiagnosed and left untreated.  Over the last 15 years I have had several bouts of severe adrenal exhaustion that left me mostly housebound for many months at a time.  I believe the lifelong asthma that I have also struggled with has been an underlying symptom of the adrenal fatigue.  Over the last 10 years as I have struggled with the increasing symptoms of adrenal exhaustion I have tried to self manage and have tried various doctors but due to limited finances The only ones I was ever able to afford to work did not have the experience that is needed to treat this illness. I am in a place in my life  where it is becoming  extremely difficult to function. I have struggled so much with this last crash that it has forced me to ask some really deep questions  as I believe I'll illness has gems that it can teach us. One of the things that became really clear to me recently is that I need to learn how to  have compassion for myself and love myself like no other can. It also became clear that I need to trust in the kindness of the universe and learn how to ask for help when needed. I have found a doctor who is an expert in adrenal fatigue syndrome whom I believe can help me  create a stable foundation for my body from the ground up to heal and help prevent future problems. I have also found  a hypnotherapist who specializes in working with people who have chronic illness that was triggered by PTSD or trauma which mine has.  Lastly I have started the practice of mindfulness meditation which has helped me greatly to surrender to what is and find acceptance in the hardest of times. Neither doctor takes insurance but I believe at a gut level that this route  along with self love and my meditation practice would bring about deep healing for me in a way that I've never experienced before. Because of my physical challenges and our choice for me to homeschool our children  I have been able to contribute very little financially to our family and the growing debt has become an increasing burden especially to David who works so hard  to support our family. It is for this reason that I am asking for your help. If 100 people were  able to donate $20, this would fund a large portion of the treatment for me which could make a huge impact on our lives as a family.  Again this is not easy for me to ask and I would not be asking if it didn't feel deeply needed.  I believe that possibly this illness is also calling on me to learn how to receive in times of need and so I am doing my best to  do that now, not just for me but for my whole family. I hope you will consider making a donation as anything is deeply deeply appreciated. 

With love and gratitude,
Tracey
