MALS Journey to health again

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jillian Mcgovern, I am a young mom to 4 children aged 15-7 and two on the autism spectrum. My husband is a railroad engineer and I dedicate my time between, him, my kids and my illness. The last 3 years have left me very extensively ill  due to a condition i have , MALS ( median arcuate Ligament Syndrome). It has left me unable to eat, drink or even swallow  without great amounts of pain.  This condition went undiagnosed for almost as long as I’ve been struck down , 3 years. In this time while searching for a cure I have almost lost my life due to sepsis on multiple occasions amongst other serious co morbidities that come hand in hand with this. I am not one to ask for help as I feel like a burden just having to subject my family to the ugliness of this disease and all that it entails. Our lives have been shattered financially by this.... we lost our home,our farm, our animals,,,,,,  we are currently driving a car that is almost 30 years old with no end in sight due to the fact we cannot get ahead even for a month. The rental  house we live in is beautiful and accommodates our family but we’re a family of six living in a 2 bedroom house. A prime example of we cut corners everywhere we can. The financial stress of having no car and no income while I am in Connecticut is by far the hardest struggle so far but I know God will provide for us. Thank you for taking the time to read this all the way through and help with my battle for my life Money collected will first and foremost go to immediately travel travel needs, co pays, nutrition and medication
