Help me to rebuild my health and my life

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Linda, and I would appreciate your help!
 
During summer 2020, I moved from London to the South coast in the UK; I lived my best life and invested a lot of time in my health and personal development. I felt I was doing everything right only to discover that my health was deteriorating. In the beginning, it was small things that I just thought were coincidences, but when they started to happen daily, I knew something was wrong. The first things I noticed were a low mood, my balance was off, and I had difficulty controlling my motor function. I started to walk into things and suddenly got very clumsy. When I poured a glass of water, I couldn’t stop before it was full, and when I walked down a stair, I had to hold onto the railing. I could not understand what was happening to me. It got to the point that I could not function normally, I struggled to move my body, and I could barely get out of bed in the mornings. In addition to this, I had such a brain fog that it was difficult to have a normal conversation with people, and I had a very hard time remembering things. When writing emails, I had to go back to the same sentence many times because I forgot what I was writing. My body was basically shutting down, and at this point, my doctor and I started to take loads of lab tests to see what was going on.
 
One day my doctor called me; she had gotten the test results and said that I was suffering from mold sickness. At first, I didn’t get it; what is that supposed to mean? She said they found high levels of ochratoxins in my blood and that my home was most likely full of toxic mold. We surveyed the house and found these mold spores everywhere, in the walls, in the attic, inside the chimney, behind the washing machine, the cupboards, the carpet, etc. My doctor told me I had to get out of the house asap, so this left me with no other choice but to leave my home and belongings behind. I always knew that mold was terrible for our health, but I could never have imagined it could cause this kind of problem.
 
I have lived out of my suitcase during the past year, moved around, and tried to find the best treatments to heal from this condition. It’s been beyond difficult to not only have lost my home and my belongings but also my health and the ability to live a normal life and provide for myself. As I haven't been able to work, I, unfortunately, lost my income and the company that I have spent the last years building up. I can’t even explain how difficult this has been.
 
I have worked with different doctors to find a way to heal from this condition and to get the toxins out of the body. I am slowly starting to recover, however, I still have a long way to go. The hardest part has been to accept that I can’t do things I used to do and to live my life in a new body. It's been very stressful not to have had my own space during this time and to worry about my health and finances constantly. I have finally found a small studio apartment in a quiet area where I can focus on my healing and build up my life again.
 
Now, I’m working a few hours a week on a blockchain project, and my aim is to be fully recovered before the end of this year and be able to go back to work full time. Before I got sick, I studied holistic design and how environmental toxins inside our homes affect our health. However, I didn’t consider mold, so now I can add that to my field of expertise. I want to continue working with the blockchain project, re-open my design company, and focus on designing sustainable buildings that improve our quality of life. I will let this experience inspire me and use this knowledge as a force for good.
 
For now, I am in urgent need of financial support to pay for my medical expenses, specific treatments, food and rent.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
