Help with Natalie's Diagnosis
Donation protected
According to Natalie's neurologist, he's only seen what Natalie has in textbooks. We're still waiting on results but her diagnosis is preliminarily CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease). This is a disease that attacks the brain and she has been, and will continue to decline in both mental capabilities and physical motor skills.
The Myers family is trying to keep up with Natalie's care during her constantly changing capabilities. They're not sure what the road ahead looks like and how much longer they will be able to provide the level of care that Natalie needs.
Teresa has taken leave from nannying for a wonderful family that they've grown very close with and Frank is working from home. Teresa's income, Natalie's medical expenses, related expenses for travel and housing, and professional care are some of the challenges they may face as Natalie's decline worsens.
We are still praying for a miracle and if Natalie recovers, then any leftover funds will be donated to the Myers church's benevolent fund to help others in need and to the CJD Foundation.
The Myers would respectfully like any communication to go to Frank and/or Teresa directly or through this GoFundMe account. Please do not attempt to reach out directly to Natalie as she has difficulty managing technology and doesn't fully understand what is happening. Frank and Teresa are managing the message that Natalie is receiving. They are tempering it with love and support, focusing on her salvation, friendships, and family rather than her mortality.
Any assistance (prayers, monetary gifts, encouraging text/video messages, letters, etc) are all welcome and will help lift the spirits of the Myers family. It's a draining time for them right now with this probable diagnosis and the seemingly endless waiting for results.
They would like to thank those who have already contributed their time, funds, prayers and thoughts to their family already. They are very appreciative and humbled by the outpouring of all the support Natalie has been shown.
