Help our Mother Recover from GBS CIDP in her home
Donation protected
Our mother (middle) - was diagnosed August 1, 2020 with Guillan-Barre Syndrome (GBS)that has unfortunately progressed to Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) Basically this is a fairly rare condition that has unknown causes, usually triggered by a gastrointestinal event or some other viral infection, that then causes your immune system to start attacking the coating and nerves that control your body. Currently our mother is unable to use her legs in any capacity, and her hands and arms are fairly unusable for tasks such as transferring to her bed, toilet, etc.. I'm including a link to the GBS/CIDP website to research even more about this syndrome. There is no cure, pill or shot that fixes this - the nerve only grows back at 1mm per day and recovery can be anywhere from several months to several years. Our mom was a very active, hard working woman prior to GBS/CIDP and now she is unable to work. Due to the pandemic she was furloughed in March of 2020 and has exhausted her benefits and not eligible for any others right now, and she is completely unable to perform any work related tasks. We are in the process of getting her added to a waiting list for low income housing and taking care of her medical bills What our family is asking for help on is for short term assistance with her rent of 900.45/month for 6 months so she can have that off her plate so she can recover in her own home. She WILL recover and WILL return to work, she has entirely too much life left in her to move into a nursing home and we just need temporary help so she can recover where she is comfortable. Added stress is dangerous with this disorder and we are trying to make her as successful as she can and WILL be! Thank you so much for at least reading this.
