Support Ramona's Journey to Healing

Aloha my name is Ramona Wallace aka Mona or Moon. My story is that March of 2024 Doctors said I was diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the liver, Blood disorder, Anemia, Major depression disorder, and anxiety disorder. I'm a recovering alcoholic. On March 2nd, 2025, I have been sober for 1 year.

My daughter and I would love to go back to visit our family and friends, because we haven't seen them since 2023. Oahu, Honolulu, HI. My anemia makes the East Coast winters extremely uncomfortable, and my meds are getting expensive on top of all the medical bills.

There was an incident earlier this year where an infection and the bitter cold enabled a situation where I didn't take my essential medications as prescribed--I'd grown too tired and fatigued to keep up with the routine. If I don't take lactulose and rifaximin regularly, I devolve into a dementia-like state known as hepatic encephalopathy, a symptom of my damaged liver. This is where I get trapped in my head and I can't move or respond properly. My last episode and trip to the ER where I woke up and had no clue why I was there is what has inspired this request for help. Seems like, since then, I have had problems with my short-term memory. I still experience shakes every now and then. I have body aches, I also take shots for my migraines, and I can't walk for too long.

I have been told I need a lawyer to explore possibilities of receiving disability benefits and to set my affairs straight. I was asked if I wanted a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) and to write a Living will. While the medical professionals have been extremely hopeful that things are stabilizing and looking better, they are still speaking in terms of the fact that things could change at any moment, which is driving home the seriousness of my condition and a strong desire to reconnect with my friends and family at home.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance and may you all have a blessed day.
