Hi friends, our amazing friend Andromeda really needs our support. Over the last few years, Andromeda has been battling many health problems and struggles. She is currently waiting to undergo brain surgery for a large tumour on her pituitary gland. Unfortunately, her endocrinologist will not sign off on her disability request, so she has been left without any financial support during this extremely difficult time. On top of the tumour in her brain, Andromeda is also fighting the following daily:
- high blood pressure, and a weakened heart from the prescription to manage her blood pressure.
- she has an at home blood pressure monitor that she uses twice a day.
- fluid build-up in her right eye which has partially detached her retina and has blurred her vision.
- sleep apnea for which stroke and heart attack are a possible side effect.
- extreme fatigue, weakness, headaches, difficulty eating, and depression.
- a second tumour on her adrenal gland, which also may require surgery.
Andromeda is a multi-medium artist who is self-employed, and is a single parent to her sons Lucca and Tiago. She would also run to help any of us in need, giving us the shirt off her back - but better yet, would just make us one! Fighting her many illnesses while being there to support her family is a full-time job in itself. Andromeda is unable to support herself and her family through her art right now, so any amount you are able to contribute is greatly appreciated. She has been given a rough timeline of six months out for her brain surgery, but with the current strain on our healthcare system this date is not at all solid. Andromeda will also need recovery and rehab post surgery. All funds will go directly to sustaining basic human needs such as groceries, bills, and rent. Anything you are able to contribute, whether it be financial or simply sharing this campaign, is wholeheartedly appreciated.
Stay tuned for updates as we rally to support our dear friend during her journey to wellness.
