Help Aid Selena’s Health Hardship

Hello! My name is Selena. I’m making this GoFundMe for myself. I’m asking for help to support my medical devices and medications during this hard time. Currently in this economy it’s hard for me to make sure I always have everything I need for my diabetes. Here a little bit of my story. In late 2022, I noticed things going downhill with my health. In early 2023, I was finally diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. This was a roller coaster and still is. From changing your eating habits, to trying out medication, finding insurances, figuring out what is affordable, and figuring out what works best with me and my body, it’s been a challenge. I’ve had many great days, but I’ve had many bad days. Days when my body is bruised from the insulin injections, days when I can’t seem to get my blood sugar in control, moments when my sugar drops very low or rises very high. Moments trying to make sure my insurance can cover things for me, or paying out of pocket for a lot of things. And so many times of crying, feeling lost, feeling overwhelmed, feeling sick, and like a burden. I never publicly said it to everyone. My journey is far from over and this is something to deal with for a lifetime. This was a huge shock to me because otherwise, before this, the rest of my life I have been healthy. It seemed like this popped up out of nowhere. But I’m still working on it and I will get to a place where I don’t constantly feel so overwhelmed by it. In December of 2024 I had caught rhinovirus as well as struggling to keep my sugar stable which ultimately sent me to the ER. It was very scary and immediately I was put in the ICU for a week because I was in DKA. Thankfully I got better but that just added onto the bills. As of March 2025 my health insurance has gone up in price but also does not cover a lot of things like it use to. I work with young children and it always risk me getting sick and sadly my immune system just isn’t the greatest. But I’m just trying to get on top of these bills and ahead of medication and all the supplies that I’m in need of. I know that god will bless me and I will over come the hardship that I’m facing right now. This autoimmune disease does not hold me back. We all have to remember we are stronger than we think. Life is a roller coaster. Life is not meant to be easy. God blesses us all with life and situations that we can all overcome. If you’re able to help me even slightly to get ahead of these medical costs, I greatly appreciate it so much! THANK YOU
