Support My Fight Against Scleroderma
Donation protected
In 2021, I was diagnosed with Raynaud's disease. As time went by, I started to develop sores on my fingertips, so I went back to the doctor. He did some blood work on me, and I came back positive for scleroderma CREST. Scleroderma CREST is an incurable, progressive disease. So far, my hands are taking the brunt of it. I've had one finger partially amputated, and my index and middle fingers on my left hand have had the nerves removed as well. Throughout all that and all the blood work, I found out that I have kidney disease, but it's only the first stage. This disease will attack my heart, lungs, and kidneys; hopefully, it will be a slow-moving process. My hands and my feet are getting tighter and tighter, and I have extreme fatigue. This disease is referred to as SAD disease, and I know why very much so because it is a very depressing disease and it's debilitating over time.
I have applied for disability, but I have not yet received anything. I've been off work since November, and I have not received a paycheck since February 2nd. I would greatly appreciate it if there's anyone that is able to donate. I would appreciate it very much. It's hard to ask like this, but my privacy and pride are put aside, and I know I have a lot of loved ones out there. I hope this can help me not lose my home or my car while waiting for the disability decision.
