Hello, my name is Rose. If you know me, then you know how difficult it is for me to do this. I have been having it rough. It started with losing almost all my strength in my legs and arms, and now I can hardly walk. The pain is so unbearable. I've had a few incidents where I have fallen and was not able to get help. Thankfully, a neighbor got to me! But that pain has now shifted through my whole body! I am not able to do anything I was used to doing. Standing has even started being difficult for me. Doing daily things like brushing my teeth, using the bathroom, and washing dishes—stuff you might find easy—has become difficult.

My doctor believes that blood work is the first step to finding out what’s causing my symptoms, but without insurance, I have to pay for these tests out of pocket. Until I can come up with the money, my doctor can’t move forward with a diagnosis or treatment. I really need my family and friends to come together and help me. If you can help, anything is appreciated! Even a prayer would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, ROSE.
