<div>My dear friend, daughter, wife, and mom — Amanda Salerno, only 35 years old — has been fighting a battle most of us can’t imagine. For the past ten years, she’s been searching for answers, pushing through unbearable pain, and trying to hold her life together while the medical system failed to give her the help she desperately needed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After a decade of doctors, endless tests, and heartbreak, Amanda was finally diagnosed with a rare and debilitating condition called MALS (Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome), a condition that only affects 1 in 50 000 people. This condition has caused years of pain, exhaustion, and loss. She’s been unable to work for five years and struggles with even simple daily tasks that most of us take for granted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through it all, Amanda has stayed strong — not for herself, but for her two beautiful, energetic daughters who need their mom. They deserve to have her healthy, happy, and present in their lives again. And Amanda deserves the chance to live free from pain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, for the first time in years, there is real hope. Amanda finally has the opportunity to get the care and surgery she needs to reclaim her life. But this step forward comes with overwhelming expenses — travel and lodging, time off work for her husband - Colin, medical costs, and a long, difficult recovery period.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amanda and her family have carried this burden for so long, and now they need a community to help lift them up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation — no matter how small — will go directly toward:
</div>
<div>• Flights &amp; transportation
</div>
<div>• Food while out of town
</div>
<div>• Hotel costs during treatment
</div>
<div>• Missed work for Colin
</div>
<div>• Support for her parents to care for her girls while her &amp; Colin are away
</div>
<div>• Travel costs for her mom to help with recovery
</div>
<div>• And any other surprise costs that come along
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With Amanda being unable to work that last five years she and her family do not have any extra savings or funds to use. Having this surgery is the only option regardless of any cost.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amanda is honestly the strongest person I know! She has never stopped fighting, even when things felt impossible. Let’s help her take this final step toward healing, so she can get back to being the amazing mom, wife, daughter and friend she’s always been.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating or sharing this page to spread the word. Together, we can give Amanda the chance to finally live a normal, healthy life again. Thank you for caring, sharing, and standing with Amanda and her family through this journey.
