Please help my sister Olivia Hosman.
Donation protected
I am starting a GoFundMe for my sister, Olivia Hosman.
Since April 18th, she has been losing her vision. She woke up one day with blindness to her left eye that cannot be corrected with glasses or contacts. Her right eye is gradually getting worse making it difficult to manage her daily routine/daily activities.
On May 16, she went to Mayo Clinic to seek help after multiple attempts to get a diagnosis at other hospitals/eye clinics. Mayo clinic was prompt and knowledgeable and was able to give her a diagnosis on May 17th of LHON. This is called Lebers Hereditary Optic Neuropothy. This is a hereditary genetic disease that affects the optic nerve causing loss of central vision.
Olivia had to quit her jobs due to her inability to see.She likes to be independent and this is very hard to adapt to.This is a financial hardship and I would like to help raise money for her to help with groceries,medical bills,other necessities and anything that can help her adapt etc. It would be so greatly appreciated from me and my family to help support her during this extremely hard time. She is strong and staying positive, but this is a tough situation to mentally overcome. Anything would be so much appreciated,prayers and all
