Join Nalani's Journey to Recovery

Watching Nalani navigate the complexities of long COVID, POTS, and ME/CFS has been heartbreaking. These debilitating illnesses have left her largely bedridden, facing immense physical and emotional challenges.

This GoFundMe aims to directly support Nalani's recovery. Funds will be used to cover the costs of:

* Essential medications: Many medications required for these conditions are not covered by insurance or have high copays.

* Specialized therapies: Access to therapies like occupational therapy, physical therapy, brain retraining/neuroplastic rehabilitation, and nervous system therapy, is crucial for her recovery, but often comes with significant out-of-pocket costs.

* Accessibility aids:  Essential equipment like high quantities of electrolytes for POTS symptoms, compression garments, a wheelchair, and other assistive measures will improve Nalani's quality of life and independence.

* Alternative therapies: Exploring alternative healing modalities like acupuncture and massage therapy may offer significant relief and support her overall well-being.

We believe that by alleviating the financial burden, we can empower Nalani to focus on her healing journey and reclaim her life. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference. Thank you for your support and compassion.

Letter from Nalani:

To my dearest friends and family,

These past 8 months have been an unexpected and challenging journey. Long COVID, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) have presented me with obstacles I never imagined I'd face. The constant fatigue, the severe neurological and vestibular impacts, and the difficulty with even the most basic movements have left me largely bedridden.

The constant dizziness, the brain fog, and the challenges with balance and coordination have been incredibly isolating and frustrating.

But amidst the darkness, I've been surrounded by an incredible outpouring of love and support. Your visits, your messages, your meals, and your unwavering belief in me have been a lifeline.

This GoFundMe is not just about raising funds– it's about acknowledging the profound impact your support has had on me. Knowing I have such a strong and loving community behind me gives me the strength to keep fighting.

Thank you for walking alongside me on this journey. Your kindness and compassion mean the world to me.

With love and gratitude,

Nalani
