Help Lisa's Heart
Donation protected
Here is the simplified truth. I have had a hard life and now my health and heart are suffering from stress I have lived with and abuse I have endured. I want to heal myself in a natural environment and believe it would help at least some of my issues if not all. I have done research and have had prior success with natural remedies. If you would like to help it would give a good person a new lease on a pointless existence. Not much point in suffering pain physically and mentally every day and thats what I have been doing for too long with no help. If you like to know more read below its more detailed. If not please share and/or donate what is possible. Anything would be appreciated. Even materials for a tiny home or some skills volunteered to build one up near Kirkland Lake. Please help remove some financial stress and help my healing begin. Thanks.
I am a 50 yo mother with two children. I have not had an easy life beginning with a very dysfunctional childhood. From teen years I have experienced chronic pain. I had endometriosis but wasn't believed until my early 20's. Then came more illness. Despite the pains and suffering I persevered in employment doing very physical work at times such as house cleaning. An abusive long term marriage increased my stress and illnesses and after finding the courage I saved my two children, then one and eight yo, and became a single mom though I am in a relationship now witg someone qho suffers much as I do. Again I persevered through my pain and illnesses doing many types of employment, school bus driver, dog groomer, cook and waitress.....until my heart finally gave in to the pains and stresses of my life situations. I almost fainted several times at work. My heart was beating over 200 times per minute. I was laid off and then diagnosed with atrial fibrillation for which I was flown by helicopter to the Ottawa Heart Institute and later had surgery for.
Still many symptoms especially chronic pain were unaccounted for with this diagnosis. In addition to the extreme fatigue partially caused by the heart medications there was still the IBS, Reynauds disease, migraines, pain throught my body and severe cramps, weakness and shaking, nausea and light headedness as well as BPPV (dizziness due to an inner ear disorder), insomnia, sleep apnea, depression and anxiety, brain fog and confusion, asthma, eye floaters which now obscure my vision so I have a hard time reading and driving and give me headaches, carpal tunnel in both hands affecting my grip and ability to write, severe low back pain from a young age, problems walking as my sacro iliac joints give me intense pain at times and knees or ankles get sudden pains causing them to buckle with no advance warning. I finally was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
On top of this I have had pneumonia five times, i have eczema, rosacea on my face now and psoriasis on my scalp and neck, and high blood pressure due to a preexisting condition called polycystic kidney disease which in the future may cause kidney failure unless I receive dialysis.
One of the worst things about having all these issues is not the overwhelming frustration of feeling useless at such a still relatively young age nor the pain and lack of ability to feel rested or get sufficient quality sleep but that to most people I look healthy which is why I assume no one has ever offered me much help in my life. The fatigue itself can feel like it is in your bones, like a physical pain and you want to scream or cry from it. And the lack of energy to do anything, to simply live and have a real life is depressing to say the least. It feels pointless to carry on at times. My children rely on me still and that motivates me and the only way I feel I make a difference in the world. Recently with my eye problems I dont know how much more useful I will be for them or anyone else.
The medical worlds solution is pills and more pills. While some are necessary and that outweighs the negative effects I have had side effects such as dental problems due to the dry mouth the medications cause. I also almost bled to death because of the blood thinners I must be on to prevent a stroke due to the atrial fibrillation. Who can say what other conditions are being caused or aggravated by the environment we live with and the GMO food and pesticides and chemicals we ingest in food and our water and even the air we breathe?
It is also a great stress financially. Having no real qualifications anymore after being a homemaker for so many years I still knew I could always do some kind of low entry level work to pay the bills. Now I realize I cant even do that with my poor eyesight and inconsistent health pattern. Also my age and lack of post secondary education and knowledge of my heart and health issues would prevent any employer from hiring me. That is a truly scary feeling and vulnerability.
Why I am appealing to you all today is out of sheer desperation. Those who truly know me know I do not ask for much. I have rarely asked for help with anything. Everyone has their own things to care for and I have never wanted to impose or take advantage. However, I feel I have come to the point where I sincerely need help. My desire is to leave the city and live off grid up North. I am hoping this will reverse some of the damage man made society has done to my health. I dont know the extent of the affects but I do believe the Wifi and pollution of the airwaves with electrical signals etc has an affect on our bodies. I believe the electromagnetic waves in the air as well as the radiation we daily surround ourselves with by cell phone, television, microwave ovens, computers etc. had an affect on the electrical system in my heart and overall health too. The weakness, nausea and dizziness I experience may be symptoms as well. Not to mention the stress we live with daily, the chemicals and air and water pollution. I have used natural remedies in the past including detoxs, herbs, and special diets. I feel they have helped me to a large extent at those times. Now I feel I require a larger more extensive solution.
My idea is to buy a small piece of land and build a tiny home. I also would like to raise money to have eye surgery to fix my eyes so I can be useful again and along with other health improvements I hope to reap from a more natural lifestyle be able to be gainfully employed again to some capacity. I implore everyone to show me some empathy and help in any way you can. I am not asking for a dream holiday or a fancy car or home. I am hardworking, intelligent and talented. My trust in the wrong people and health issues have led me to this point in my life. My naivety is my mistake. I ask compassion now however and your help to allow me to have some kind of meaningful life for the remaining years I may have. I have given all to my children of myself and helped many animals. Life is more fair to some of us than others. Some mistakes we bring on ourselves but others we are unjustly burdened with. I have done the best I could with what I have been given. Now will you help me keep fighting by donating even $5? Americans alone spend about $200 a year on lottery tickets. Please put your money to a better cause. Give to the little person instead of the rich organizations. Thank you.
