76 yr old Mom needs help gofundme.com/76-yr-old-mom-…
Please read my mom's gofundme & help in any way possible. We are struggling to survive. RTs help. 😭 
In 2011 I was bitten by a tick (after being on antibiotics for 19 yrs). My rescue dog was bitten & died the next day. Wasn't treated for 11 mos- I had E. Chaffeensis, Rickettsia, & prob.#Lyme in spinal fluid & brain. Caught Coxsackie B4, cousin of polio & lost most use of L side.
During one of my hospital stays I contracted Vanc-resistant Clostridium Difficile. I fought it for 3.5 yrs before having 2 FM transplants (the 1st failed) to save my intestines & life. Now I can't digest food w/out EnteraGam-an RX that's $198/mo. We can't afford it. 😭
My (now) 77-year-old mom worked until she was 75. She had to quit to become my full time caregiver. She helps me bathe, dress; she cooks, cleans, & drives me to all my Dr appts. I don't receive #Disability benefits yet. We get $1.50/day for food + trying to save home. #Healthcare
Please find it in your hearts to help us. Charles Gaba wrote an article about me & Ky healthcare. Peter Morley took my story to Capitol Hill. @Alyssa_Milano helped RT my story & bought my $198 RX about 6 mos. ago. Please help us! RTs help. #LymeDisease #ChronicPain #Fibromyalgia
@Alyssa_Milano We have both worked our entire lives. My mom's an RN but now I'm her full time patient. I ran a childcare program for low income & disabled children. I became an atty & worked w/ abused women/children + criminal defense lawyer working on appellate issues for wrongful convictions.
@Alyssa_Milano Every month I have to raise $198 for my enteral food RX. It's normally $1600/mo but I have a pharmaceutical scholarship. We also need $ for food. Our foodstamps were cut in 1/2 under the GOP to $1.50/day. We are drowning in bills. Relying on her SS. 💔 😪
@Alyssa_Milano I have now received notice that I am subject to co pays on my Medicaid. Everything from my medicines, Dr visits, physical therapy, immunizations, & hospital stays. Most fees range from $2 to $50. I am on over 10+ medications. We can't afford this. Please help! #wishes #IBD 😭
@Alyssa_Milano Please read this thread and help RT, share to FB, &/or donate if possible. Anything and everything helps! #healthcare #LymeDisease #brain #chronicillness #ChronicPain #wishes
