Hello! My name is Addie and I'm raising funds for my little sister, Sarah. She's been dealing with mold poisoning for the past couple of years after living in an apartment that wouldn't take care of some mold issues. She struggles with bouts of complete physical exhaustion and muscle pain. Her joints swell up and she goes through phases where she is unable to walk or do anything.

Because of this, she missed out on her senior year playing soccer, which was her passion. She was so good at soccer and had been playing since she was little. She also had to cut back on her working hours a lot because of her new physical limitations and she is so completely overwhelmed with financial issues.

Sarah used to be such a high energy go-getter. She worked so hard and never complained about anything. She never asked for help and she was always the one helping others. She has spent years dedicating all of her time to the girls at the group home where she works and she takes such good care of those girls.

It's heartbreaking for me to watch my little sister struggle so hard. She can't afford her bills, her student loans, or even pay for any treatments to help her get rid of the mold. Mold doesn't go away easily, and this could be a life-long illness for her without the right treatment.

Sarah’s next goal in life is to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Unfortunately, right now that goal isn’t possible until she is fully healed. She cannot begin that journey until her strength is restored. Her health challenges from mold poisoning already make it difficult for her to even get through day-to-day life, let alone prepare for the physical and emotional demands of missionary service. Before she can move forward, she must focus completely on her recovery by receiving the treatments she needs, by paying off her medical and living debts, and by rebuilding her strength. Every contribution will help her do that. That way, when the time comes, she’ll be ready and able to serve with her whole mind, heart, body and soul.

Right now, myself and my family members aren’t in a position to help her financially. I would love for Sarah to get some of the help she is always giving to others and have some of the weight lifted off of her shoulders. She's the best sister and friend, an amazing aunt to my son and my niece, and she has the biggest heart in the world. She deserves the world but I'd love to start with at least giving her a road to recovery without so much stress. Anything helps! Thank you!
