Help Janeth with her Medical Expenses

Please help Janeth fund her medical bills.  Janeth is 28 years old, lives in the Philippines and has 2 young daughters,  Skylar -3  and Shanniea -7.  It is very difficult to receive medical attention in the Philippines without sufficient cash funds. Janeth is sister-in-law to Christopher McCormick (Jennifer's sister).

Janeth was perfectly healthy until she recently contracted TB Meningitis.  She experienced headaches and body aches, and we didn't receive a diagnosis quickly.  She was sent home after paying $300.  She collapsed upon returning home.  Janeth went back to the hospital, where she received a CT Scan and an IV for hydration.

The doctors thought she had a tumor, and then Janeth suffered from seizures.  The doctor referred her to a hospital in Cebu, which is an 8 hour boat ride.

There was a typhoon, so she had to wait two more days to go to the hospital.  When she finally arrived, she was diagnosed with TBM (Tuberculosis Meningitis).  This disease is treatable if caught early.  The treatment is very regimented, and she will need to be hospitalized for an additional 6 days.  Treatment for those six days and a trip back to her town, will be more than $2,500.  

Janeth will require close medical attention for a year.  Please help us get Janeth back to herself and able to be mommy to her daughters. 

We need to raise $10,000 to help her pay for her medical expenses.  Please help her get back to her family!
