Donation protected
This is my beautiful dear friend Jaclyn. Jaclyn is in need of some support from friends and family right now. Back in 2017 Jaclyn starting getting extremely sick. Her liver started developing gallstones with no gallbladder. Very rare. Jaclyn ammonia levels started to become extremely high. Doctors took lazars to the stones to shrink them, put a stint in the liver that drained out from the stomach. It's been a constant battle of living in ICU, being in a coma numerous times. Living in different hospitals more then being home. Doctors in Bloomington / Normal couldn't help her. She's been all over Illinois to see different doctors and specialist but no one could figure anything out. Finally Jaclyn got into Barnes Jewish hospital in St. Louis. There they discovered not only does she have this issue with the liver but she also suffers from a rare copper deficiency. Her body does not produce copper in her blood. Leaving her with terrible symptoms of memory loss. Body aches and pain. Severe weakness. Absolute exhaustion and serious blood infections. These two medical conditions together are life threatening and financially impossible. Jaclyn is on a trail drug that Barns makes for her called Dehydrocholic. She also is desperately in need of another copper infusion. The only place that can do these infusions is Barnes in St. Louis. Jaclyn lives in Bloomington Illinois. Copper infusion is a out patient process that is 10 days long and 5 to 6 hours each day. Jaclyn is not strong enough to drive or ride that drive back and forth everyday. And needs to be close to Barnes incase of any reactions to the infusions. She is need of financial help right now to get to St. Louis and continue her medication to keep these stones away. Infusions are scheduled to start on the 17th to the 29th. I know times are very hard right now. But whatever you could spare to help my amazing friend would be such a blessing. Even if it's 1 dollar it all adds up.
