Donation protected
Hey everyone!
Thank you for checking out our page! We decided to join forces and do this together because there are power in numbers! Time is not something that Jen or myself (Heather) have.
We will both keep you guys updated on here, as well as on www.hopeforyourcause.org!

Please read our stories below, along with our personal goals!
Thank you again!

Heather's Story:
On March 22,2012, I was taking down a David Beckham poster, when I was done,I hopped off the futon, did some weird Dance move,and landed on my foot as it was turned to the side.
-Now, 18 months later, it has spread 100% into my other foot, as well as my arms. I've tried numerous treatments, but my body isn't responding to them like they should.
-Two months ago, I had an MRI done of my RT foot (the foot that I broke). They ended up finding Bone Marrow Edema in two separate areas.
There are ways to treat Bone marrow edema. The common treatments that are very effective to get rid of the bone marrow edema, would negatively effect my CRPS.
At this moment, we are trying a "Bone Stimulator" to treat the Bone marrow edema. That's the only thing the Doctor could offer.
-I have a feeling that if we can heal the edema inside my bones, my body would respond to the treatments. And ultimately remission can happen!
-Time is not in my favor though. My insurance is dropping me in November bc I am turning 26. I can't work a real job, so I haven't had any income for 18 months.
- Getting the Calmare Therapy is my last hope.

Jen's story: I was diagnosed with RSD/CRPS 8 years ago after an accident and it has completely changed my life. I went from being healthy, independent, having a great job, owning my own house and being able to help others to where I am at today.
Since my diagnosis my CRPS has spread from my lower left leg, to my left entire leg, left side of the back, shoulder, and now due to lack of medical attention my left arm. I've also developed a thyroid condition which has spiraled out of control. I've lost my job, friends, financial security and last year my house: which has lead me to where I am today.
I moved out to AZ last year. Since then my health has taken a turn for the worse and no health insurance or support here which is why I am desperate to get back to my DR's and support system in PA. I've never been one to ask for help, but I can't deny the situation I am in and the desperate help I need.
-----------
Both of us are CRPS fighters who could really use your help.
We both have a goal we need to reach very soon.



**Jen's goal is to be able to move back home from AZ to PA, where her doctors are, as well as her support system. Her health is declining and needs to be under the care of her doctors and the ones who support her.
Goal:
*$500 to get car ready for drive back to PA hauling a Uhal (brakes, tires, oil change).
*$500 for the Uhal rental
*$1200 for gas, food and lodging for trip
*$ 300 for Storage for 3 months while I get settled
*$300 for a bed for where I'll be staying
*$500 for Dr and meds first mont until I get insurance/job
*$1,000 misc. for the 30 day transition period after the move.
(And possibly during the move. In case the Uhaul is more expensive, or any of the other obstacles that may pop up)

Total goal amount: **$4,500**
-----------
*Heathers Goal: is to be able to travel up to NJ for 10-12 days, to go see Dr.Cooney and receive Calmare Therapy. Which has an 85% success rate.
It's a lot cheaper than HBOT, and is only 10days long, instead of 35-40 days.
Goal:
*Calmare Therapy= $2,500
For a 10 day treatment.
* Travel expenses (Hotel & and airfare/or gas for the drive up there) = est. $1,500
* Misc.= $500 help cover medical bills and medications during the couple months when I won't have health insurance (Effective: November)
Total Goal amount: **$4,500**


Total for both girls: $9k!
