This Isn't How My Story Ends -- Help Me Get My Life Back
I'm Amanda... and I'm Running Out of Time
I'm here now... but not living.
At 44 years old, I'm facing a battle that most of you can't even begin
to imagine. Once, I was a vibrant woman --- full of life, love, and
laughter. I had a career in healthcare, helping others in hospitals,
nursing homes, and behavioral units. I was a passionate cook, a lover of art, and someone who treasured every moment of good health I had. But now, the world I once knew is slipping away, and with each passing day, I am more and more confined to a body that refuses to cooperate. I am not giving up, though.
I've been through so much --- more than any one person should have to bear. I've faced over 14 bouts of meningitis, debilitating autoimmune
diseases, surgeries that I wasn't ready for, and infections that have
become a regular part of my life. I struggle with progressive memory
loss, severe cognitive decline, and I've watched my body deteriorate in
front of my own eyes.
Despite all of this, I am still fighting --- and I will keep fighting.
But I need help, and I am turning to you because I can't do this alone
anymore. My time is running out, and I need this treatment, and I need it now.
Chronic Lyme, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and So Many More Battles
The past 14 years have been a slow unraveling of my health. It started
with Chronic Lyme disease, but that was just the beginning of a long
list of health challenges. Multiple sclerosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome,
autoimmune diseases, and many other complications have ravaged my body.
I've had seizures, complete body paralysis that required intubation, and lost vision. I've spent months in hospitals, undergone over 60
hyperbaric chamber treatments, and have been told by doctors that my body is no longer working as it should, But they don't offer any help and know nothing about Lyme.
On top of it all, I'm suffering from severe cognitive decline and memory loss. My independence is slipping away every day, and I have no idea how
much longer I can endure this without treatment. The treatments I need aren't just expensive, they're not covered by insurance.
Envita Medical Center: My Last Chance for Survival
I have one final hope, and that hope lies at Envita Medical Center in
Arizona. Envita is one of the few places in the world that offers
specialized treatment for complex diseases like Lyme disease, and
Cancer. Their treatments are personalized and offer hope where none exists elsewhere. I've been on 2 zoom meetings and spoke with the doctors myself and talk with the nurses/staff regularly. They are ready for me as soon as I have the funds.
Here's what they can do for me:
- IRAD blood purification therapy to detoxify my system and help my body heal.
- Customized treatment tailored to each individual with a dedicated team to support you the entire time.
- Immune system support to help my body fight the infections that have been plaguing me.
- A team of dedicated specialists who understand my needs and will work around the clock to heal me.
But I can't access this life-saving treatment without your help. This
center requires $80,000 to cover my full treatment, housing, food,
transportation, and aftercare. It's my last chance to live.
What I'm Fighting For
I'm fighting for the chance to live again --- to walk, to be free from
pain, and to experience joy in the simple things once more.
I'm fighting for:
- The chance to walk and be active and actually live.
- The opportunity to live independently, free from the debilitating effects of this disease.
- The ability to hug my bonus son, Tucker, without severe pain or even being able to lift my arms.
- The ability to have the energy to see and spend time with family and friends without severe pain and exhaustion being bed bound for days after.
- The ability to be able to be more involved with my church again and be an active member of society and be an even better mother figure to Tucker.
- To be able to utilize my passion for cooking which I am unable to do now and that takes a big toll on me.
- To reclaim my passion for art and creativity that this disease has stolen from me.
But above all, I am fighting for a future. I don't want this to be how
my story ends. I want to make memories with my loved ones, heal from
this disease, and live the life I've always dreamed of. This is the only
chance I have to make that happen, and I need your help.
There's No Time Left to Wait
The clock is ticking. My condition is worsening by the day, and without
immediate treatment, I will lose the ability to do the things I love ---
and, worst of all, I will lose the chance to live at all.
The longer I wait, the harder this will be to reverse living at all. The
$80,000 I need is a significant amount, but it's the only way I can
afford this life-saving treatment at Envita.
What Your Donation Supports
I am turning to you, my friends, my community, and anyone who feels
compelled to help. Your contribution will cover:
- Full treatment costs for 12 weeks at Envita Medical Center ($80,000)
- Housing for myself while I undergo treatment
- Daily food (likely to delivered)
- Transportation to and from the treatment center
- Support for my ongoing care after I finish treatment
This is my last chance to live a life free of pain and disease. I am
asking for your support so that I can access the treatment that could
save my life.
