Riahna’s CRPS FND journey

Donation protected
Riahna's condition, CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome), is a chronic pain disorder that occurs after an injury to an arm or leg. It involves excessive and prolonged pain, inflammation, and changes in skin color, temperature, and swelling. Additionally, Riahna has been diagnosed with FND (Functional Neurological Disorder), which is characterized by neurological symptoms such as weakness, tremors, numbness, blackout episodes, and difficulty with movement and sensation.

Due to these conditions, Riahna is currently wheelchair-bound and unable to use both her hands and feet. The pain, swelling, poor circulation, and muscle spasms caused by CRPS, alongside the functional dissociative seizures, headaches, and sleep problems caused by FND, have made it extremely challenging for her to complete basic tasks and work.

Riahna is a passionate dancer who has dedicated the past 8 years to running her own dance studio, South Coast Dance, and teaching children and adolescents various dance styles. Her friends describe her as bubbly, kind, and fun-loving. However, her conditions have significantly impacted her daily life and ability to continue pursuing her passions.

As Riahna faces a long and difficult recovery journey, the financial strain from being unable to work has become overwhelming. We kindly ask you to join us in raising funds for her medical expenses, treatments, and daily living needs.

Your support will make a meaningful difference in Riahna's life and help her on her path to recovery. Together, we can provide the financial assistance she needs to navigate this challenging journey and regain her independence.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity. Your contribution will have a significant impact on Riahna's well-being and future. Let us come together to offer our support and make a positive difference in her life.
