Give Meg the help she needs!

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

I'm reaching out to you today to ask for your help in supporting my wife, Meg Williams, in her ongoing battle against Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). EDS is a rare genetic disorder that affects connective tissue, causing a range of symptoms from joint hypermobility and chronic pain to organ and vascular complications.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a condition that significantly impacts the daily lives of those affected. Individuals with EDS often face challenges such as chronic pain, fatigue, gastrointestinal issues, and even cardiovascular problems.

Meg's journey with EDS has been particularly challenging. Despite her resilience and determination, her condition has taken a toll on her physical, mental, and emotional well-being. To manage her symptoms, Meg was undergoing regular IV therapy, which provided her with much-needed relief and stability. However, her doctor recently decided to discontinue this treatment, deeming it unnecessary then dumped Meg as a patient when Meg tried to advocate for her own health.

Since stopping IV therapy, Meg's health has declined rapidly. Not only has she lost the ability to walk without a cane but she also hasn’t been able to sing for more than ten minutes a day. Her mental state has also deteriorated, with heightened anxiety and fatigue becoming constant companions.

One of the most concerning developments is Meg's consistently elevated heart rate, ranging from 110-130 beats per minute even when she's at rest. This, coupled with her struggles with sleep, constant nausea, difficulty eating, and unexplained weight loss, paints a grim picture of her current state.

As her partner, it pains me to see Meg suffer like this. That's why I'm turning to you, our community, for support.

With my own health problems making it near impossible for me to help around the house like I want on top of Meg’s we are asking for anyone who can to help us with cleaning our home.

We're also in desperate need of financial assistance since Meg has been unable to work due to her disability and I’m still teaching full time which is not enough to cover our expenses let alone to help Meg access regular IV therapy, which has proven to be a lifeline for her in the past. Each IV session costs an average of $200, and with multiple sessions needed each month, the expenses quickly add up.

Your generosity can make a world of difference in Meg's life. By donating to this GoFundMe campaign, you're not just helping cover the cost of IV therapy; you're offering hope, comfort, and a chance for Meg to reclaim some semblance of normalcy in her life.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering our plea and for any contribution you can make. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and support Meg on her journey towards better health and well-being.

With gratitude,

Taylor and Meg Williams
