Hello everyone. I never thought the day would come when I would have to make a GoFundMe for help. Well, the day has come.

Right before Christmas, I got sick with COVID, which turned into double pneumonia. I was not getting any better after weeks of being sick. I went back to the emergency room, and they admitted me. After 2 CT scans and a ton of other tests, they thought I had pulmonary fibrosis. However, this may not be the case.

They suspect that I may have an autoimmune disease called dermatomyositis.

In order to confirm or deny this, I have to go see the rheumatologist in Mesa in June.

I also have to go see a second pulmonologist in Tucson in September.

I have to have a muscle biopsy in May as well.

I have to use oxygen basically anytime I'm on my feet. Because of this, I had to quit my summer job at Circle K.

The issue I'm having is expenses to be able to travel to and from Tucson and mesa to receive treatments. Also, with only one income now, everyday expenses are adding up.

The photo I have included shows the CT scan of my lungs. All the white you see is the scar tissue.

I don't like asking for help, but I will be eternally grateful for any help you can provide. Thank you in advance.
