Johnna's Medical Burden

Johnna & Rebecca Mattero have been faced with a very unexpected life turn when severe health issues have attacked Johnna. It started several months ago with a loss of appetite and diminishing mobility. In one event going down to the basement Johnna fell and slightly hit her head. It was apparent that something was happening in her body that needed to be addressed. In early September '23 it started to result in the inability to even get up and walk across the room. Around September 13th Johnna was admitted to the hospital to be treated for a lack of protein in her body. She could not even get out of bed. Johnna was in the ICU for a couple weeks receiving treatment to boost her system as the doctors assess and evaluate. The first diagnosis was "Gullian-Barre Syndrome", which is an attack by the immune system to the nerves from a viral infection. The second diagnosis was "Miller Fisher syndrome" which is a variant of the Gullian-Barre Syndrome. It is a rare nerve disease. The latest and 3rd diagnosis is "Wernicke Syndrome" or "Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome." As of October 7th, it is still unknown formally, but there is little progress in Johnna's health condition physically. Johnna continues to have foggy life details mentally and remains hospitalized. As the main source of revenue in the family this has placed a huge financial burden on them. Please help be a GENEROSITY HERO and help this family through these difficult times and times ahead.
