Help for Maggie

Donation protected
My 19 year old daughter Magdalena Angelique Bolanos was randomly diagnosed in 2007 with Scleroderma. (Hardening of the skin and stiffness in the joints.) A few months later came Raynouds Phenomenon. (Lack of blood circulation mostly in hands in feet which turn them purple, blue and/or white.) Having those illnesses caused for quite a few amputations in her fingers. Bad circulation caused gangrene, which then caused fingers to need to be cut or it'll spread. So that went on for a few more months. Then she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Then Myositis.(inflammation and degeneration of muscles.) She was loosing fingers rapidly. Then came Vasculitis. She began getting ulcers on different joints. Mostly on hands though. She had some on her heels which turned into legit open painful holes that needed skin grafts to close them. Holes then formed on her elebows and needed the same thing. Right now she only has two whole fingers left. The rest are either half way cut except for 2 that are fully cut off. Her breathing has gotten worse over the years as well. When it gets bad we need to take her to the ER for oxygen.Her last diagnosis was Gastroparesis. (When the stomach gets paralized and doesn't wanna work so the food just sits there for days and makes her sick.) When she gets these bad gastroparesis episodes she's unable to eat for days. The most its been was 6 daysdays I believe. Because of this, she has lost a significant amount of weight. Weighing now 60 pounds. She's severely underweight and we've been trying to give her nutrition but always fail because her stomach is so sensitive. Her toes are now starting to contract and curve inward so its hard to walk. Plus her knees are contracted as well so that doesn't help. Maggie has been through a great deal of nonstop pain all these years. I can't work because I'm her 24/7 caregiver. So its hard when insurance has problems and doesn't wanna cover her medicine because I barely have the money for it. There's a lot of thing she needs but is unable to get,like medical supplies and equipment, due to that fact. We also are in need of a car to take Maggie to her appointments and to transport her new electric wheelchair with us. So I'm asking for any help we can get. Anything will help. I'm trying to give my daughter the most comfortable life I can give her having to deal with everything she goes through. She is so strong. So please, if you can help we'd grately appreciate it.
