Sick mom of 4 with cushings disease

Donation protected
I am starting a gofundme site for someone who is very special and who is also very sick. Her name is Brandie Gilson and she is a wonderful wife and mother of 4 children. She recently was diagnosed with cushings disease. This disease has altered her life in such a way that getting the help she needs to survive is proving to be very difficult and non existent. She currently can not work and her husband was laid off after an accident at his work place and having surgery on his back. So this family currently has zero income and no insurance of any kind to help pay for treatment and surgery or medications all while trying to raise children keep a roof over their head and food on the table. Brandie has a 2cm tumor on her pituitary gland in her brain. This tumor has caused a snowball of several different effects that have basically crippled her. She is currently taking 13 different medications two and three times a day. She has went into A-Fib 3 times and has had to have her heart shocked back into rythym. This disease has caused her to become diabetic which she has to take shots of insulin for. It’s also breaking down the muscles in her legs making it very difficult to walk. The tumor has caused many different hormone and chemicals to drop and change. Her potassium dropped to 1 which many of you know that’s very very close to death. It has caused her to lose most of her hair and she is in constant pain. The tumor is pressing on a nerve causing her eye site to deteriorate and now she can’t drive. She has permanent damage to her heart from the A-Fib attacks. The doctors believe that her brain surgery is serious enough that they wanna skip Indianapolis and have her go to Columbus Ohio. Finding a surgical team to treat her is very difficult because she does not have insurance. She is currently applying for assistance and insurance but we are not sure how long that will take. Everyday that tumor keeps growing and getting bigger and if something isn’t done the sad reality is the hospitals will let her die because she doesn’t have the money or insurance to get the help she needs. So I’m asking if everyone could just make a small donation anything helps and it’s so so appreciated. Whenever a large group of people come together to help a fellow friend or loved one or fellow American great things can happen. Thank you to everyone in advance.
