Texas POTS treatment center funds
Donación protegida
Hi, my name is Aubrey Kelley and I am raising money for an outpatient stay at a 2 week intensive POTS clinic in Texas (POTS= postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). I was only diagnosed with POTS one month ago, but I have been suffering from the symptoms of it for years. I am desperately working to get control of my symptoms which include constant migraines, frequent dizzy spells and tremor, morning nausea with occassional vomiting, and constant brain fog and fatigue. I plan to go to college in the Fall, but I know I can't unless I get control of this illness. This money will be used to fund my flight to Texas, 2 weeks of intensive work at the medical center, and my food and lodging. I would need the funds before I turn 18 on March 26, 2017 in order to cut the costs and allow me to stay in the Ronald McDonald house for 2 weeks. This trip would mean more than the world to me because I want more than anything to feel better before going off to college and not having my family by my side to help me through this. If I am able to fund this trip I would be more thankful than one could imagine. I have been living with symptoms of this disease since I was 9 years old and have missed numerous days of school over the years because of my intractable pain. This year alone I have missed 12 days of school due to my debilitating symptoms. I cannot afford to leave for college under these conditions. For the past 8 years of my life I have just been looking for 1 day without pain, and I am still looking for that day. Please help me get the treatment I need, because my mom cannot afford to send me there on her own. Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
