My name is Paige, and I am starting this GoFundMe for my best friend, Arielle. Recently, Arielle received the life-changing diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Unfortunately, she has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of MS that has already had a major impact on her mobility. Simple tasks—like getting up and walking—have become a daily struggle.

Her specialist has recommended infusion treatments to help manage her symptoms. She received her first treatment last week and will need additional treatments in the coming months. These treatments are critical for giving her the best chance at stabilizing her health and regaining some quality of life.

Since the onset of her symptoms, Arielle has been unable to work. This has placed a heavy financial burden on both her and her husband, Josh. A new diagnosis like this is overwhelming enough without the added stress of wondering how to cover medical bills and everyday living costs.

That’s where we hope this community can step in. The goal of this fundraiser is to help Arielle and Josh with medical expenses, household needs, and other costs of living—so Arielle can focus on her health and healing.

Any support you can give—whether it’s through a donation or by sharing this page—will mean the world to Arielle and Josh.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, compassion, and generosity.
