Help Tori Mondello Recover from ADEM

Hey friends and family! I don’t know if you know my sister Tori Mondello as well as I do, but she’s the best person. She’s always been thoughtful, caring, and trusting to everyone she’s ever been blessed with knowing. She’s truly always been happy to help others before helping herself, and that’s why I am reaching out to all of you today.

Unfortunately, recently Tori has been burdened by a rare sickness, causing her to be hospitalized for the last month or so. To anyone that is familiar with the medical industry, the condition they are narrowing it down to is called ADEM. This is an extremely rare condition, stemming from a potential virus or vaccine; it is essentially an infection on her brain.

In the beginning stages, she lost all functions, including walking, talking, eating, etc.

She was also located on the other side of the country for work, thus making it much harder for family to be available quickly.

My sister in the last few weeks has shown great strides aided by the treatment she’s received, and she is hoping to be able to travel back to Massachusetts shortly with the rest of my family. But as you can imagine, this has and will continue to put a financial burden on her and my family.

All we want is the best possible recovery for her and to give her the best opportunities to get back to herself completely. If there is anything you can give to contribute to the healing process, my family would greatly appreciate it. And if you can’t donate, please just spread the word.

Humbly, my family thanks you more than you will know.
