Lindsay's Medical Fund
Donation protected
Lindsay is one of my closest friends. She always has an upbeat attitude and a smile on her face. She loves Wicked and all dogs, and she's the Queen of Snapchat.
What you may not realize about Lindsay from looking at her or talking with her is that she is dealing with several chronic illnesses including Ehler's Danlos Syndrome (hypermobility type), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), chronic Lyme disease, dysautonomia, and thoracic outlet syndrome. Most recently, she has had to deal with median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) and multiple spinal fusions in her neck as a complication of some of her conditions.
Unfortunately, all of these conditions have caused Lindsay to take a hiatus from school and work to focus on getting better. While she has health insurance, many specialists and drugs she needs to treat her condtions are not fully covered, causing her to be up to her eyeballs in medical bills at only 23.
I'm establishing this GoFundMe in hopes of helping her get some of these bills down to help alleviate some of the stress on her, so she can focus on letting her body rest and heal. Lindsay is one of the most positive people I know, regardless of her condtions, and she deserves to not have to worry about the cost of getting better. I know that $20,000 is a lot, but it will do a lot in helping her pay off her medical bills.
