Cleveland Clinic Expenses

Donation protected

As many know, I was diagnosed with Terminal Autonomic Neuropathy, which falls under the umbrella of a more general issue called Dysautonomia, the dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system.
The autonomic nervous system is responsible for everything the body does without conscious effort, such as breathing, heart rate, digestion, and circulation. With mine not functioning properly and failing over time, proper management and attention is key to giving me the best quality of life.
That's where this gofundme comes in. Testing and management will be happening primarily with a specialist in Neurology, Dr. Robert Shields Jr, of Cleveland Clinic.  Travel to and from Cleveland Clinic, staying close to the hospital, and still managing to pay the medical bills without bringing financial ruin to our household is impossible without assistance at this point and my conditions prevent me from working at all. Without further testing, disability is hard to get and the process is very long and slow. If you are able to help financially, it would go so far to help me get to the next round of tests on May 11th. 
Another way that you could help is by helping us save money at home by offering common grocery staples, cat food, or help around the house so that we can focus on working and healing.
Thank you in advance for your kindness, your understanding, and your compassion, regardless of whether or not you donate, every share is helpful and I am so grateful to have the tribe of people that I have around me.
