Help Miranda While She Heals

A few months ago, Miranda started experiencing some medical problems that prevented her from being able to hold down food and liquids. She seeked medical treatment and was basically sent away a few times because it wasn’t deemed emergent at the time. Her symptoms didn’t fade and she continued to get worse. She went to the ER nearly two weeks ago and was admitted for severe malnourishment due to her inability to keep anything in her stomach. Her organs were on the brink of shutting down. She was discharged yesterday and is now temporarily disabled for possibly the next few months. Miranda has a nutritional disorder due to undiagnosed IBD and her doctors are treating her for Chrohns and Celiac disease.  She has to have assistance every day and spend 20 hours a day with an IV pumping fluids and nutrients into her body. The nutritional disorder also caused a 50 pound weight loss which resulted in muscular atrophy. She cannot get off of the toilet without assistance or pick up her two year old son. She’s also in physical therapy to regain her muscle strength. 

This girl is my children’s godmother, my best friend of 16 years, an amazing spouse, and a mother to two little ones. She’s never been one to ask for help with anything but would give anyone the shirt off of her back in a time of need. Her doctors in the hospital told her she was days to weeks away from death’s doorstep had she not come in when she did and I can’t imagine the devastation of losing her. I’m hoping to just raise enough money to help cover her loss of income and assistance with monthly expenses while she heals and is unable to work. Anything helps. ♥️
