Tiff needs some help from her friends
Donativo protegido
As many of you know, Tiffany's world has been turned upside down in recent months due to mold poisoning at our former apartment. She can't teach right now due to the constant pain throughout her body and the way this stuff has affected her mind as well: memory loss, general forgetfulness, losing track of things, depression, anxiety, etc. It is absolutely shocking what this stuff can do to a person. She also constantly feels like her head is going to explode from the sinus pressure and unending headaches.
Before identifying mold as the culprit, doctors diagnosed her with osteoarthritis and then rheumatoid arthritis. They also thought she had lupus, lyme disease, and various other autoimmune diseases. All the tests came back negative for anything except that her inflammatory markers were all elevated. That's when we figured out it was the mold.
As a result, we moved out of our old place, crashed with some dear friends (thanks RoMo!!) for a month until we found a new place.
We are thankfully close to settled in new apartment and Tiffany has been showing slow but definite improvement on all fronts since vacating the mold house.
I'm creating this go fund me because in addition to the devastating medical issues, it has also been devastating financially. Nearly all of Tiffany's lab work and tests had to be paid for out of pocket. She also switched to a much more expensive medical plan after the doctors told her she had rheumatoid arthritis (which has now been ruled out) and would thus need to see various specialists to deal with it moving forward. Moving was incredibly expensive (new bed, hiring movers to get out quickly, etc). And then we also got stuck with double-rent due to emergency move. Tiffany is also on a regime of supplements and different diet to try to detox, things which are predictably expensive. On top of all that, Tiffany has zero income during this period as she cannot work and yoga teachers don't have the luxury of sick time or other benefits. If possible, we would also like to get Tiffany to a detox center to get her back to healthy as soon as possible.
Many of you have already helped in incredible ways in recent months..we couldn't have survived without our friends and family. I am creating this for those of you who are able and willing to help her out financially. Thank you all for any way that you can help get our beloved Tiff back to the joyful, dancing, lighthearted person she's always been.
