Healing ME!

Donation protected
Thank you for listening to my story! I am grateful for any good vibes or good donations to help me heal so I may return to a healthy, productive, full life again! I believe that my life's journey as a friend, artist, mother and educator has been a positive contribution to people's lives and I hope to continue giving back while I am here.

This is my story...

Back in 2013, I was bitten by a tick in the North East and I was diagnosed with Lyme disease. I developed Bels Palsy, which paralyzed my face, but it cleared up with a round of antibiotics. Unbeknownst to me, the disease never left my body. Over the next five years, I had lost both my father and brother to cancer, my husband's health to epilepsy, my home and community to a lava flow and my best friend to a divorce. Need-less-to-say, it has been a very stressful period in my life. On July 18, 2018, I was laying in bed, with feelings of great sadness, when suddenly my feet, toes, hands, fingers, gums and jaw went numb. Eventually, the numbness, burning and shooting pain, felt throughout my entire body, grew more and more intense. As the weeks pass, I have had very little use of my feet, legs, arms, hands, mouth, eyes and mind. After six ER visits to three different hospitals, many doctor visits in two states, diet change, several medications and alternative therapies, I still cannot function well because of the excruciating nerve pain numbness, sleep deprivation and blurred eye vision. The medical professionals that have been caring for me have had no solid answers, only referrals to specialists and more blood tests. Though I am grateful for their expertise and efforts, referrals to specialists and results for blood testing takes many months. I do not have months. I am in constant physical and emotional pain. I have not seen my six year old son in over a month and I have not been able to return to the work I love as a mom, a photographer and an educator. I miss my boy and the children I teach terribly!

Recently, it was brought to my attention that there is a cleansing, rejuvenation center, called Angel Farms, that can help me. Over the course of several days, I will receive a deep hydro colon therapy flush while replacing vital nutrients to help my body flush. This will help my body facilitate restorative healing that was previously lost.  
There are many accounts from people with auto-immune diseases, (including Lyme), cancers, diabetes, neurological disorders, etc. who have gone through the program with amazing results. I, personally, have friends who have gone through it and they say it saved their lives! 

My goal is to get back home to my boy and to get into the program at Angel Farms this month. I humbly ask for your help to reach my goal so that I may get back to giving back. I cannot do this alone. Any amount that you can contribute is not too small. Really! You can either donate through this GoFundMe site or through PayPal. My email address is: [email redacted]
I greatly appreciate your time and consideration. Please pass this on to whomever you think would like to donate.
Once I recover and I can pick up my camera again, I would like to offer a free portrait session to those who donate $250 or more.
Thank you very, very much for your consideration! 
ALOHA! MAHALO! LOTS-O-LOVE!
