Support Christina and her family

Christina has been a strong support throughout the entire community for years. She is the type of person to give the shirt off her back to help someone she just met. She is a mother, a sister, a daughter, a Grammy, a friend, a wife, and so much more. 
Christina was diagnosed with Lupus 3 years ago, she underwent immune chemotherapy to help treat this autoimmune disorder. She does not have insurance so her check up visits were only when she absolutely needed them. A month ago, she had a constant flare up of lupus throughout her body so she went to the Dr. On September 21st, 2019 she went in for a month follow up visit where a blood panel was ran. The next morning on Saturday, she got a frantic call from her Dr and instantly could tell this was an emergency situation. Her Doctor told her she needed to go to the emergency department immediately. She had no option to wait or delay. She told her Doctor she doesn’t have insurance and can not afford to go, that’s an expensive bill for a family to carry. Her Doctor told her this is life or death, she only has 24% of the normal blood volume in her body, no trace of any iron in her blood, the red blood cell count was at a 5 while It should be 16-18, and her white blood cell count was at a 3. If she didn’t go to the hospital, her kidneys would have started failing causing a domino effect. When she went to the hospital, they have ran multiple tests. She had a barium fluoroscopy exam, multiple CT series, an endoscopy, a colonoscopy, along with plenty of others. She has had daily iron transfusions and blood transfusions. Her body is still not producing any blood. She was admitted into the hospital for 6 days. There is a few suspected causes of what has been happening but we have to do further testing in order to do so. This is a family who never expected this and needs the communities help. She was released from the hospital last night with daily iron transfusions scheduled next week, daily follow up appointments, and more tests. All of the outpatient bills she has to pay upfront in that moment. This GoFundMe is a way to take the worry off of financials for the family and help them be able to just focus on Christina. It’s also a way for Christina to solely focus on her health and getting answers to fix the problem. No one should have to worry about their NECESSARY medical bills affecting the rest of their lives and their families lives.
