--PLEASE SEE RECENT UPDATES FOR MORE UP TO DATE INFORMATION--

 

Arielle has an autoimmune disease called Mast Cell Activation disease, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Complex PTSD and an Anxiety and  Eating Disorder. This combination of ailments has caused Arielle to become gravely unwell. Arielle also has an ongoing ear problem due to a perforation, a bad parasite, and gut problems since birth. Due to the extreme stress Arielle's body has been under she also experienced an early pregnancy miscarriage, which has devastated her even more so on top of everything else.

Arielle has had health issues since birth however, they’ve raised in severity this year. With all these conditions Arielle’s compromised immune and nervous system caused her to become dehydrated, malnourished and barely holding on.

 

Arielle began fainting and have seizure like convulsion fits named convulsive syncope throughout the past month. In the space of one week Arielle had over 20 seizure like fits and was hospitalised short-term over 6 times. With on particular day during the peak of this nightmare Arielle had a near death experience and was resuscitated numerous times , luckily, thankfully she was already in hospital when this happened. But how terrifying and confronting it was.

Arielle's mental health and physical health are equally balanced in the impact they have on her health. However, Arielle's mental health is what caused her seizure like activity. That is her biggest battle.

We- Arielle’s family are doing all we can in our power to keep Arielle well and on the path to recovery. Arielle only recently was given the diagnosis of the physical ailments; this has given us a clear path, but our financial position is limited with how much we can assist Arielle. Right now, Arielle needs almost 24/7 care.

 

There is a holistic healing rehabilitation centre we wish to send Arielle to. Arielle has tried to overcome her health challenges through Western medicine for years however it has been without prevail.

The cost of this centre is huge, we gasped as we found out the amount too. The reason we're so desperately trying to attain it because over the years Arielle has been unwell with her health we've exhausted what feels like all options. And this centre is renowned and seems like exactly what we've been searching for.

 

Arielle is a Youth Disability Support Worker, she works with children with additional needs 1:1 and also in a group setting where she facilitates group day activities. She also is a skilled Hawaiian KaHuna massage therapist and sound healer. Arielle has given so much to the community and now we are reaching out to you, the community for support.

 

We have the biggest goal to be able to send Arielle to this holistic rehab centre, however every cent along the way assists and even if our main goal is not reached funds will help with Arielle’s different daily appointments she needs to attend.

 

Arielle is a ray of sunshine, she has a big warm, welcoming heart and treats all whom she meets with deep respect and equality. Arielle has a beautiful voice and loves to sing, and recently has overcome some barriers and has been sharing her voice and soulful mantra’s she writes to the world.

 

Seeing Arielle suffer so deeply, watching her crumble before our very eyes has been terrifying and devastating. There is no magic wand to fix all she is facing, however with time, and more support she can recover and thrive, not only just survive.

 

Every bit counts, whether it’s a few dollars or you sharing this fundraiser to your community, we greatly appreciate any and all efforts. We are doing our best to keep Arielle convulsive syncope free and supported in every way possible, but we no longer can do this alone. We need your help. The Valdez-Baltgalvis family thanks you in advance from the bottom of our hearts.
