Healing Amy's Brain Tumor

Donation protected
I'm asking for your help for my mom's medical treatments that are desperately needed to treat a brain tumor. Please help in any way you can. Here's her story...

My mom hasn't been feeling well for awhile, but she marked it up to high stress. For the past year, she has put everything she had into caring for me while I have been recovering from a traumatic brain injury I sustained from a fall. But she was wrong.

On March 13, 2014 my mom was ambulanced to the ER for what was thought to be a stroke and was diagnosed with Wolfe-Parkinson-White disease, a birth defect she didn't know she had.

May 21st, she was admitted to the hospital again. They did a CT and MRI which showed her Pituitary Gland is extremely enlarged, raising great concern and referred for more testing. This is causing the extremely low blood pressure and unexplainable weight loss, among other things. She's lost almost 30 pounds in 2 months.

Long story short, after more hospitalizations, doctor visits and testing, July 18th, 2014 we received devastating news. My mom has a Brain Tumor located on her Hypothalamus, located right above the pituitary and time is of the essence. Most of the testing and treatment that's needed is either not covered by our crappy insurance or the length of time they require before giving authorization is quite long and doctors said there's no time to wait.

The past year has been emotionally, physically and financially draining. Recently, we lost our car, making it even more difficult to get her to appointments.

At the doctor's encouragement, disability has been filed but it can take 6 months at best they said before it goes through. She's unable to work and every option has been exhausted and anything with monetary value has been sold. I am asking in this desperate time of need for help to get my mom the care she needs to beat this. She is a amazingly strong woman, a survivor and a fighter. I know we will get through this, we just need help to make that happen. Anything you can donate will make a difference, even if it is only a couple of dollars, and prayers, positive energy and good thoughts are always welcome!

You can donate Here on this site,
or through Paypal at: [email redacted]
(Paypal is preferred method because it can be accessed immediately, GoFundMe takes 3-7 days to transfer) You can also send words of encouragement to the same email. 

Also, please share and pass this on to help spread the word to others so maybe they can help also.
A Facebook page will be set up soon.
