Living Life with a Migraine for 3.5 years

Most of you know that I have had a migraine for 3.5 years. 1250+ days. Doctors cost money ... a lot of money and time. And all the tests, visits, labs, scans ... well, it adds up. No answers make those bills seem implausible, impossible to even want to pay.

We have cut out a lot of things over the last several months, but we are still struggling to just function. Yes, we need help paying medical expenses, but we also could use help with other expenses, some ongoing, some just need to be paid off.

On October 3rd, we are going to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL to see if they have answers for me. I have so much anxiety about this trip: from paying for gas and food, to paying for the doctor visit, to worrying about how the girls will handle all of it. I am thankful for friends who have offered a place for us to stay, as well as friends here who will be taking care of the girls.

Our youngest will need to wear a heart monitor for at least 2 weeks in October. That is also a huge expense. I would argue that is far more important than my trip to Mayo ... but the harsh truth is, both are equally of great importance.

I set $3000 as the goal, but in reality, more would help us get out of the hole we are in. Give what you feel led to give. Pray for God to heal ... to bless ... to provide.
