Help us not go homeless, Nutcracker Syndrome

Donation protected
KRGV 5 Story:

Alejandra Peña is diagnosed with a rare condition named Nutcracker Syndrome and is having to deal with the challenges.

Nutcracker syndrome is a condition where the left renal vein is so compressed that blood flow is interrupted. Doctors have said there is nothing they can do, but put her on medications to manage the pain.

The pain has gotten so unbearable that Peña was let go of her job, forced to live off her saving and has tried renting her house for income. 

"I've been living off of my savings. I had to pull out my retirement, so I started renting out my house so I can make ends meet," Peña said

However, due to Hurricane Hanna her house had some damages. 

"My fence broke and the water heater broke, and things keep breaking." Peña said "People don't want to stay in a house where there's no hot water running."

Thank you to everyone that has reached out with words of kindness and with a giving heart. Everything and anything is a great help for us in this time of uncertainty. I don't have much but when I'm cured which I know I will be soon thanks to this news report I'm hopeful that soon a surgeon will take on my case and make me all better. When that happens I would like to invite you all to come to visit our humble home which you all are helping us not lose. Again I am forever grateful to all you kind people who have reached out to offer a helping hand. If you prefer to help through cashapp here is my cash tag $ajpena10. And if you are not able to help financially but would like to help any other way it is also very welcomed and you can reach out to me. 

Thank you to every single one of you. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for the many kind people who have and continue to reach out to us.
