Emily's Urgent Move: A Mother's Plea

Update: Still haven't been able to live yet and now Emily is hospitalized with the chronic illness as well as hip issues. She is going into surgery today and having MRI scans of her brain to hopefully figure out why she is progressing so fast without getting any better. I am now at bedside unable to work, so bills are now stacking and keeping us in our home has taken over the move at this time. Have banked every penny donated this far, but it looks as tho this will now need to be used for day to day living as I have Emily and other children who rely on me as a alive of stability. Sharing, donating would help us to be able to stay in the hospital as long as needed to find answers.

God bless you all

Meet Emily. She has been battling a rare autoimmune illness since 2017. We have traveled countless miles between Lake Havasu City and Phoenix, Arizona over the last almost 8 years. Emily suffers from a rare peripheral nerve disorder called CIDP. It's a rare condition with no known cure, causing crippling weakness throughout her body, mainly in the arms and legs. In the last two years, she has become wheelchair-bound, and in the last year, she has started suffering pain throughout her entire body.

Fast forward to today, the medication regimens and IVIG therapy are no longer working; in fact, they are causing damage to her vital organs, specifically her kidneys. The neurologist is now recommending a move to the valley for a long-term plasmapheresis regimen, which is kind of a last-ditch resort. Moving is hard, and moving so far will require our family to uproot our lives of the last 30 years, but it has to be done.

I am seeking help for moving costs, like first and last month's rent, and security to get her closer to the medical care she has to have. Anything is appreciated: prayers, sharing, etc. The time has come, and we have to go. Thank you for reading, and may God bless you all.

Jodi.

Emily's Mom.
