Medical expanses for an amazing mother and wife
Donation protected
Jennifer VanHemm is a mother of two, loving wife and daughter, and a full time project manager. A little over 5 years ago, like someone flipped a switch, her health took a sharp turn. She went from being in the best shape of her life to struggling to function on a daily basis. She experienced seizure-like attacks and dangerously high heart rate spikes that landed her in the ER multiple times, without any answers. Rapid fatigue, constant tachycardia, stabbing abdominal pain, and persistent headaches are some of the less severe daily symptoms. She is now unable to eat most daily foods including fruits, vegetables, and proteins, or any caffeine, or take even the most basic of medications as they trigger further debilitating attacks. Over the first 3 years of her illness, she visited over 30 different specialists from all areas of expertise, plus a visit to the Cleveland clinic. She has had countless tests performed, many of which the insurance would not cover, and she still does not have any concrete answers. At this point she, along with her family doctor, suspect they know what the problem may be. However, the tests to confirm it are very expensive and insurance will not cover any part of it without a diagnosis. She desperately wants the anchor of her family to be healthy, but simply cannot afford to dig themselves into an even deeper financial hole. We truly thank you and appreciate any support that can be given. Thank you!
