On February 10th 2019 Freddia Harkins walked into Sutter Delta Medical Center in Antioch , CA with complaints of  high fever and stomach pains. She was sent home at that time. The very next day she was brought back  into the hospital by ambulance. She was released again. She went back the next day complaining of body cramps all over, and they again were going to release her, but her sister Racquel Harkins demanded that they run blood test to find out the underlining problem. She was then diagnosed with minimal change disease, which is a kidney disease in which large amounts of protein is lost in the urine.
She was then hospitalized for a week. Upon her release she was prescribed water pills and  a daily dose of 60miligrams of prednisone. She took the prednisone which made her get ulcers and her mouth and throat.  Three months in with taking the prednisone she  informed her doctors that it felt like it was too much medicine for her, and they informed her that they could not stop the medication because of the amount she had been taking, and a sudden stop would cause her body to crash. So she continued to take the medication. She went to the lab every week to get blood drawn for testing, and on May 8th she received a call to go in to the hospital where she then was admitted. She stressed her concerns that she believed that she was prescribed way too much medicine and she felt like that was causing her to get worse. Her immune system was under attack. (FYI: a high dosage of prednisone causing your immune system to weaken) They didn't give her a direct diagnoses because they simply they  did not know exactly what was wrong with her. Day after day she and her family waited on a diagnoses so that the problem could be treated, she got worse and worse. She was so scared for her life, finally her family asked for her to be transferred. At first the hospital denied the request with still no diagnoses. Her family did not give up and repeatedly asked that she'd be transferred. Finally they agreed that they couldn't figure out what was wrong with  her so they agreed that she would be transferred to San Francisco. Three  weeks had passed from when the family initially asked for the transfer. They took a week before they could find her a bed. By the time she arrived in San Francisco she had no diagnoses, and was so sick that they put her on a life support breathing tube and  put her to sleep. While she was sedated the family was informed that she was being diagnosed and treated for a rare blood disease called HLH, she was given dialysis and chemotherapy treatments. She stayed asleep for most of what would be the last week of her life the few time she woke up she wrote on a piece of paper trying to ask for help. The last time she was awake she actually wrote HELP. On June 9,2019 Freddia Harkins heart stopped, after the many times doctors tried to resuscitate her it wasn't enough and she died. She was 42 years old. She left behind 5 children, and 5 grandchildren.  
Freddia is one of the most loving angels to walk on earth, she would give her last to a stranger. On numerous occasions she along with her family passed out food to the homeless. Hot meals and hot chocolate  around her community.  Please HELP us give her a burial to lay her to rest.
