Help for Autumn!
Donation protected
Autumn is my 10 year old cousin. It all started with her vomiting and having bouts of diarrhea on the first night. On the second day she continued with just vomiting. She was then taken to the pediatrician where she tested positive for strep throat. She was treated for that, but returned to the ER the next day for dehydration. She was transferred by ambulance to a children's hospital where they performed spinal taps, MRI's, and EEG's. Autumn also suffered a seizure that day. She was diagnosed with a virus in her brain that is causing encephalitis. (Doctors are still unsure of what virus.) The encephalitis is causing symptoms of heightened light and sound sensitivity, agitation, she can not sit or stand on her own, unable to speak for herself, and has caused the vision in her right eye to be impaired. Also they have found inflammation and effects on the nervous system. We are trying to raise $25,000 to expand Autumns room and build new porches that are wheelchair accessible as she is going to have to be in a wheelchair. Along with all that their car is not very reliable as they need a new transmission as well as a few other fixes to assure Autumn can get to her therapies. Right now she is looking at physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. Any thing that anyone can donate would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for all of your support! God bless.
