Hello everyone, My name is Lindsay.I’m writing this with a heavy heart, asking for help in a way I never thought I’d have to. Our lives were turned upside down a few years ago when my husband was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) when he was also already fighting Ulcerative Colitis which caused him to be hospitalized in the ICU.

My husband Ryan tried for some time to fight through his intense symptoms but was forced to stop working, & just when we needed it most, he was denied Social Security. We have been fighting this denial for 2 years, trapped in a bureaucratic backlog with no income.

Our nightmare is compounded by the fact that our oldest son is fighting his own battle with Chronic ITP a serious autoimmune disease blood disorder that attacks the platelets and if not safely monitored is life threatening. Our youngest son was Diagnosed With ASD/Autism and just one of his appointments for his condition is 5 days a week 20 hrs a week 3-5 hrs each appointment.

I was diagnosed with RA and have a laundry list of things going on. So we have a extremely heavy load of appointments.

We have gone from having a stable life to living in a state of constant emergency. Savings gone. We are struggling to pay for basic necessities, health needs, for somewhere to live, a car, getting back on our feet, getting out of the unwelcoming toxic environment.

We are reaching out for support. Funds raised will go directly to save for living, basic needs, health costs, my kids,transportation,food and above all getting out of the only place we had to go which is far from ideal.Any donation, no matter how small, or a share of this post helps more than you know. Thank you for your time and reading our story. Thank you so much for your generosity in our time of need.
