Hi everyone! Hannah here. To those of you who know me, you know I have quite a few medical conditions. I haven’t gone into detail about everything online that I have going on and I just got more news recently and after lots of praying my husband (Ryan) and I feel like God is leading us to do this. So this is me swallowing my pride, sharing what’s going on and asking for help…which believe me, is incredibly hard for me to do because I hate asking for this kind of help.

To start off, I’ve known for a few years that I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, Orthostatic Hypotension, Vasospasm, Asthma, Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Pain, Autoimmune disorders, Chronic Migraines, etc. Even though I'm in my early 20's, I have the body of an 80 year old internally. They all take an extreme toll on my health and keep me from working a “normal job” so I’ve been doing freelance for a really long time. However, I just got more diagnoses that aren’t the cheapest to try to treat. Unfortunately between my amazing and supportive husband’s income and my freelance income we cannot afford to do what we need at the moment to get me help…

Here’s what we just found out is going on...

I just recently started seeing an amazing new doctor out of California who sent me to have extensive testing done. It came back that I have quite a few cardiovascular related things going on. Let's just say, what he tested me for as far as cardiovascular issues go, came back EXTREMELY high and I’m at a VERY high risk to have a heart attack at literally any moment. It also alerted him that I could possibly have cancer and other hidden (possible deadly) infections in my body. I also found out I have hypothyroidism, I have inflammation everywhere in my body, including inflammation of my heart and brain. I also found out that I have hypoglycemia, I have a lot of deficiencies, I have malabsorption (only absorbing about 1/3 of what I eat and drink), I have triggers (hard to explain on here) and other hidden stealth infections. It’s hard to put all this into detail on here but honestly that’s just keeping it simple. Ryan (my husband) and I believe this doctor could really help me. However it’ll be $2600 just to start out. The initial $2600 is for further tests to see if I have any cancer, deadly infections, etc along with figuring out what my stealth infections are and for getting my inflammation and cardiovascular risks down. That price is not including the other supplements/meds I’ll need to go on and other tests and treatment plans down the road. So we are trying to raise at least 3k to get started because there will be more costs down the road between treatments, tests and meds/supplements. This is my only shot at potentially living a semi normal life and potentially getting healthy enough to do more normal things and live a longer life. We have exhausted all of our options and this is all we have left.

We have prayed and prayed about the right way to go about this because we hate asking for monetary help.

Literally anything helps…$1, sharing this post, your prayers, ANYTHING.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

We do respectfully ask that we do not receive medical advice as we have exhausted all other options and have already decided on

the tests and treatment plans through this doctor if we can raise the money and we want to keep our heads clear so we can hear what GOD wants us to do. We have prayed about this and feel very confident in our decision. We both just want what God wants. Thanks so much and God bless.

Disclaimer: Please note if you do donate, we do have a trip coming up. We are NOT using the money we are raising for our trip. We wouldn’t even be going on this trip if it wasn’t already paid for months ago and if we could get a refund but we can't. It was paid for before we knew any of this new medical news.
