Hi my name is Christine and I am raising funds on behalf of my sister. For years my sister has struggled with what we thought was lupus but was misdiagnosed from the doctors and specialist which actually turned out to be Raynauds disease https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/raynauds-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20363571.

Throughout the years the cause of that disease and the toll it has taken over her body has added multiple other diseases to occur which are the following:

Pulmonary arterial hypertension

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pulmonary-hypertension/symptoms-causes/syc-20350697

Mixed connective tissue disease

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/mixed-connective-tissue-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20375147

Interstitial lung disease

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/interstitial-lung-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20353108

These diseases cause her immune system to shut down alot as well as puts a toll on her lung and heart function which causes shortness of breathe and pain throughout many parts of her body because of the minimal oxygen flow being released. It is hard for her to carry a conversation without her having to take deep breathes.

All of the medications she has been taking is causing more side effects. Major weight loss due to not having an appetite, nausea, stomach issues, tiredness, and the list goes on. Last month she was rushed to the emergency due to her lungs functioning at a very low rate and after days of consulting with doctors they have suggested to put her on chemo shots which we all know that breaks down your body even more. Since medicinal doctors don't have the answer she is now trying to start seeing a functional medicine doctor who uses biology–based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. A doctor that can help with natural remedies and get to the root cause of the issue. Currently there are none in New Mexico so she has to travel back and forth to California for 3 months to start this process. The website of this Dr. is https://drtimothychiu.com/.

She has been a hard working Mother of 4 and long time Church volunteer with her spouse and all of her kids heavily involved as well. She also has been running a business with her husband but through this she has hardly had any strength to at the very least cook a meal for her family. Her siblings are asking your help to cover the costs of what it will take for her to fight these diseases and towards her journey of healing.

Your donation would help with the following. Currently the cost of care recommended to start is a 6 week program at 3-1hr appointments per week costing at $5,000 in which it is broken down to 2 weeks per month. On top of care it is highly suggested to purchase various supplements as well as any blood, toxicity or other testings that she would need that would not be included in the price which costs around $2,000. Each month she would have to fly to California and back home to New Mexico to see this doctor. She is a very humble woman and never asks for anything from her family which is why we want to do this for her. As you all know health insurance will not cover any help outside of medicinal doctors and it would be of tremendous gratitude and lift off a heavy burden to her and her family to know that with your help she can get through this. Thank you for your prayers and believing with us and through the healing power of God she will be completely healed. To God be all the glory!

We will keep you updated as she goes through her process but here is a most recent picture of our strong and beautiful sister.
