Our dear friend Mindy has been fighting a frightening and unexplained health crisis since March 2026. On March 8, she was able to attend a concert and stand for four hours. Just days later, she was struggling to breathe and could barely stand for five minutes. By March 20, she needed to go to the ER.

Since then, Mindy has undergone extensive testing and seen numerous doctors and specialists, including neurology, pulmonology, rheumatology, vascular care, and spine care. She has had dozens of blood tests, four MRIs, two CT scans, and multiple ultrasounds and X-rays. Despite all of this, doctors know something is wrong but still don't know what is causing her symptoms.

Her unpredictable brain fog, cognitive problems, breathing difficulties, fatigue, and problems standing and walking became so severe that her doctors determined she could not safely continue working. Her FMLA has now run out, and without a diagnosis or treatment plan, she recently lost her job.

Unfortunately, the financial challenges didn't stop there. The same week Mindy lost her job, her car started having serious problems. She took it to a shop and learned that it needed both a new transmission and a new catalytic converter, with repairs estimated at around $9,500. With the car worth only about $800 on a good day, making that repair simply isn't realistic. Mindy was told to drive it until the wheels fall off, but once that happens, she has no way to replace it.

Now Mindy is facing financial hardship and the possibility of losing her medical insurance while she still desperately needs care. She is fighting for disability benefits, but until that process is resolved, she has no employment income.

We are asking for your help.

Donations will help cover medical care, insurance, medications, transportation, everyday expenses, and food for Mindy and her furbabies while she continues searching for answers and fighting to get well. They can also help provide some security as she faces the possibility of losing her only reliable means of transportation.

If you can't donate, please share this fundraiser. Every bit of support can help ease the burden Mindy is carrying.

Most importantly, please keep Mindy in your thoughts as she fights for answers, treatment, and a path back to the life she had before all of this began.

Thank you for caring about Mindy and helping her through this difficult time.
