Support Andrea's Journey to Hope to Defeat MS!

MS Stinks.

I honestly don’t know how to start this—or how we even got here. But my sister Andrea needs help. More help than one family can give. And the kind of help she needs costs far more than what a retired teacher with little income can afford.

Andrea has progressive multiple sclerosis. In just five years, she’s gone from being a full-time gym teacher, driving herself to work and staying active, to being completely immobile—unable to move even a finger. She can’t feed herself, scratch an itch, or get to the bathroom on her own. Every day is a struggle, and while she still believes she will walk again—and I want to believe with her—right now, she’s trapped in a body that won’t cooperate.

She’s only 46 years old.

She lost her job after getting COVID again in 2022. That job kept her active and gave her purpose. Losing it meant losing her independence. She now requires full-time care, medical-grade equipment to move her safely, weekly hygiene care, and regular doctor’s appointments. Family is all she has. And we’ve done everything we can—but it’s not enough.

I’ve been begging her to let me ask for help. And now, finally, she’s agreed.

So I’m asking. From the bottom of my heart: please help us give Andrea a fighting chance.

Your donation will help cover the cost of a full-time caregiver, medical supplies, and the support she needs to live with dignity and comfort. She deserves more than just surviving—she deserves the chance to hope again.

No one should have to go through this. Especially someone like Andrea—once the strongest, most active person I knew. Watching this disease take everything from her has been the hardest thing I’ve ever faced.

Please, if you can help—even a little—it would mean the world to me, and more than I can say to her.

With all my heart,

A very worried little sister who just wants her big sister to have a chance at life.
