Danielle's MS

10/9 UPDATE: A giant thank you to all that have donated between the donations and an outside donation Baltimore is funded. MS has thrown her another curve ball and she needs 2 pairs of special glasses which will be around $800. Any additional donations will go towards the cost of the glasses.

UPDATE: The goal has been met thanks to a family friend, however MS is a fickle beast. She is having issues with her eyes and mentioned special glasses will be needed. Any additional donations will go towards the cost of the glasses, which is unknown at this time.

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE DONATED SHE TRULY APPRECIATES IT AND FEELS LOVED !!!!! <3 <3 <3

My amazing friend was given two letters she never asked for: MS.

She fights everyday with a body that acts like a toddler throwing a fit when they’re asked to do something. Every day is different, but the one constant is fatigue.

Do you start your day thinking about how big your gas tank is? Do you plan your day around how much gas you have? Her days start not knowing what size gas tank she’ll have today; a pint glass, a coffee mug, a shot glass, or even just a tiny thimble. Everything done in a day uses gas, and there is never enough. (See also: spoon theory)

This friend has been given an amazing opportunity for an MS fatigue clinical trial. It feels like a no-brainer. Not only could this give her hope to have more consistent gas in her tank, but can also help others with MS who face the same daily struggle.

The downside is that the clinical trial is in Baltimore, MD, and this friend lives in Troy, NY. Getting there brings added expenses she had not planned for, and that health insurance will not cover: gas (the car kind this time), tolls, lodging, and more along the way. This fundraiser page was set up to help ease the burden of all that goes along with getting to the trial. Please consider donating what you can, and sharing if you’re able.

At the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, their donate page says, “Everyone has the power to change the world for people with MS.” This is just a more direct line to that help. Want to learn more about MS? https://www.nationalmssociety.org/understanding-ms/what-is-ms
