Complex autoimmune illness continues

Dear Friends and Family,
My struggle to recover is ongoing.  I have limited mobility and sometimes crippling pain. 
I have an autoimmune condition brought  on by multiple exposures to pathogens.  There are few medical people that understand the complexity of my  illness.    More recently  I have found a couple of new doctors who have experience treating mast cell disease.,  a treatable condition.  brought  on by these exposures.  Mast cell wreaks havoc on the body, leaving it in a inflammatory state.
Recently, I  have found new  resources through others who have been suffering themselves.
This process is slow and my financial resources limited.  I am still working as much as I am able-not enough to cover all my expenses.   Please help if you can.  Please share with friends who might be able to help.  Thank you.


I am fundraising for my sister Lori. She has dedicated her work to helping people with their health and wellness and now she is in need of financial assistance. After suffering through many months of unexplained, debilitating symptoms, she finally found the cause. It was mold in her house. Long term, low level mold exposure caused neurologic issues, digestive issues and physical challenges.

In order to live in her home again, she had to have a complete mold remediation, had to throw out most of her furniture and move out of her home for 2 months. None of the cost was covered by her homeowners insurance. She is seeing several healthcare practitioners that are not covered by her health insurance. The costs have decimated her financially. She was advised that she is looking at many months to a yearof recovery.

Lori has spent over $12,000 over the past few months for mold remediation, renting a safe space to stay in, purchasing an air purification system and rehab/medical services. She needs to replace furniture and additional home modifications will be necessary.  Rehab and medical costs are ongoing. All of this took place during Covid which affected her income greatly.

Lori needs immediate help so that her health and vitality can be restored!
