Support Shia's Fight Against Lupus

Donation protected

She’s battling lupus with incredible strength — still going to school and enduring dialysis three times a week. I’ve stopped working to care for her full-time, while her mom keeps everything else going.
So originally she was born with cerebral palsy fluid on her brain. The cerebral palsy made her vision bad something can be right in front of her she cant see it and doctor says glasses wont help and it also messed up how she walks, she walks with umm like a limp and made her feet 2 different sizes. So they drained fluid off . Boom years later her mom was doing a routine visit with doctors and noticed her ankles was big then she told her to immediately go to ER !!!. Diagnose with lupus they started her on a no salt diet. Shia weight dropped so bad that DCF got involved. I then recommended to snoop that we feed her a normal diet her weight instantly went back up ..she takes infusion once like every 2 months which is supposed to help the lupus. Now her kidney function is at 14% function. Shia was complaining of stomach pain literally everyday!!!!!! She would tell the doctor that her stomach was hurting for like 442 days she knew exactly how many days. So they finally put her on dialysis but her veins so thin that the fistula keeps collapsing. Last week they put a Stent in it which as of today she said it's functioning slow so tomorrow at dialysis they will do something I'm not sure. Originally Shia was hospital homebound for school, she continued tell me she wanted to be in a normal setting and go to school. I registered her which they gave me the run around and I almost got arrested 4 cursing the people out because they kept saying they couldn't accept her because she a liability now she is in school and REFUSES TO MISS A DAY...listen I'm telling u she don't play about school.Shia is very calm too damn calm and don't speak up u have to ask her or she won't say anything (I hate it) all she does is school dialysis and her game ONLY BOY GAMES .
All donations will be used for her future college medical supplies transportation bills some sort of extra curriculum activities she wants to go on a cruise and a theme park volcano bay. Shia also is looking forward to being able to have a regular big graduation ceremony. I really want her to feel normal as possible. Unfortunately this is difficult with only 1 income....
