Support Brenna's Fight Against Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis

Hi everyone, thank you for taking the time to read this.

This is 7-year-old Brenna. Her mother, Shauna is a friend of mine. She was just diagnosed with Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN).

TEN is a life-threatening skin condition. It causes peeling and blistering skin over much of the body, including the mouth, eyes, and genitals. TEN is the most severe form of Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Both conditions are caused by a reaction to medication. About 25% of people who develop TEN don’t survive.

Brenna was taken to three different hospitals with a rash. Mom showed doctors that she was on a new medication and continued to ask if it could be the cause. Unfortunately, she was told 'no' over and over. Sadly, Mom continued to give Brenna the medication for three more days.

Mom then took Brenna to Morgantown Children's Hospital, where she was diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, then ultimately Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis. She is now in another hospital on a pediatric burn unit. The cause is the new medication she was taking. She is suffering from pain all over her body, blisters, and now has a feeding tube.

The family works hard for minimum wage. They are currently awaiting approval from the Ronald McDonald House for lodging but cannot work due to their daughter's needs. Please, if you can help this family at all, they deserve it and will be forever grateful.
