Hey everyone, I’m Kristianna. I am doing a GoFundMe page on behalf of my mom. I don’t like asking because, to me, it’s embarrassing, but I would love to help my mom out for Christmas for my siblings. I know money is tight because of the holidays and these crazy inflation prices, but my mom has been in and out of the hospital for the past couple of years due to her illness. She has MS & lupus, and for those who don’t know what those illnesses are, here’s a brief summary: Both Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Lupus (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus - SLE) are autoimmune diseases, meaning the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. While MS primarily affects the central nervous system by damaging the myelin sheath around nerves, lupus can affect various organs throughout the body, including skin, joints, kidneys, and sometimes the nervous system, leading to a wider range of symptoms depending on which organs are involved.

She is a hardworking woman. She pushes herself until she can’t anymore to provide the best life for me and my siblings. Recently, her body had an attack, and she’s been in the hospital since October and then transferred to a rehabilitation center to help her strengthen her body. But she won’t be home for Christmas to spend the holidays with us. Her job isn’t paying her because she used up all the sick days and paid time off! I appreciate anything from the bottom of my heart! I just don’t want to see my mom struggling anymore, and I would like to make sure my younger siblings have a good Christmas this year. ❤️‍
