Let’s get my mom to Mayo Clinic!

Donation protected
My mom fell on ice on December 10th 2017 and injured her lower back, left side and spine. It has been a long 18 months with no improvement.. She is diagnosed with a rare disorder called spinal myoclonus caused from the injury. My mom is in a wheel chair and has lost 24 pounds and is non functionable. Work Comp dropped her at 17 months and now we are responsible for medical treatment. This GoFundMe page will help my mom continue to see her specialist and to get her up to Mayo Clinic. We just want her to get better and get back to the way she was before the fall. There is no cure for this injury except for Medication to calm the constant jerking. My mom is one of the first people to help someone in need and never asks for anything. Please consider helping my mom at this time. My Mom had to get a GI tube so that she can get the proper nutrition on an everyday basis. She is home resting but we are praying she can get back to her normal self.
