There is no cure for scleroderma.

My best friend Randi was diagnosed with scleroderma at the age of 17. This autoimmune disease has taken so much from her within the past few years. Not only has it taken physical parts of her body, such as amputation of her fingers, but it has stolen her beautiful, fun-loving, outgoing personality and precious time away from her husband and son.

I’m starting this GoFundMe to help raise money to cover medical expenses and to help with home renovations, as this disease is affecting Randi’s ability to walk due to ulcers on her feet.

The goal of treatment for scleroderma is to relieve symptoms and stop the progression of the disease. Early diagnosis and ongoing monitoring are important.
