Izabella's Lyme Disease fight

Donation protected
Our story starts when Izabella (Bella) started showing signs of Lyme Disease in April of 2019. Now Lyme Disease is rare in Florida and it actually took until September of 2019 to be diagnosed. Last week (January  2020) she tested positive for a rare tick borne illness called Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever ( this is almost always fatal if not treated in time) We had 5 months of doctors misdiagnosing my now 13 year old daughter. It has been such a fight and emotional roller-coaster for our family, myself being a single mother with a very small support team, I am doing my best to maintain face for my 2 daughters. My youngest Abigail is in constant fear of losing Izabella.  Her current diagnosis is Chronic Mono, Acute Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Pats Disease. She has also had multiple infections.  Izabella has been through so much and she is a fighter. She suffers from horrible headaches, enlarged spleen and lymph nodes, joint pain, zero energy ( she would sleep for days at a time). Fast forward to now, we are in January of 2020, Izabella has a PICC line for antibiotics to help treat the Lyme. She is on multiple antibiotics and multiple specialist.  The closest specialist that will treat Izabella for her Lyme and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is over 200 miles away. I'm basically going broke driving her every single week to see the Lyme doctor plus all her other specialists. I am in need of help, so I've created a go fund me. If you can not donate that is fine just please keep my daughter in your prayers.
