Help For Medical Hardship

Donation protected

In February of 2019 I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called Lupus. Since then I have experienced a number of symptoms that have caused me extreme pain and hardship. I have admitted to the hospital 3 times since September of this year and that is when I became unable to work. I have extensive hospital bills and cannot afford to pay them, see my specialty doctors that are helping keep me alive, or pay for the more and more medications I am being prescribed that are keeping me alive. Upon my recent hospital stay this month, I was in for a very dangerous skin infection called cellulitis that could have entered my blood stream and killed me. I had to be away from my family on Thanksgiving. It stunned my already damaged kidneys, and now my kidneys function at 15 percent. I was put on dialysis 3 times a week which I also cannot afford. I currently cannot do much for myself I need help standing from low places, bathing myself, getting out of cars, my legs are just too weak. I just want to be able to live my life to the fullest without having to worry about simply taking care of my health. Anything you can donate would be greatly appreciated.
