This campaign was created to help a beautiful girl get well after being stricken with 4 rare and debilitating diseases that have no cure and no approved treatment. Mandi went from being a vibrant, active teen to a young adult who's now mostly bedbound and the symptoms make daily living almost impossible. Her life now consists of being fed by a tube, iv medications and a full time caregiver. We need your help.
We have been exhaustively fighting for Mandi's health. She's seen every specialist in our area, from allergy to rheumatology and everything in between; they are trying to help her. We are fighting hard to give Mandi health back. No one should go through this alone. She is at great risk for early death as the condition she has makes her prone to cancer. Her intestines are shutting down. She's Allergic to every food, and even most of the medical formulas.
She suffers from a rare disease that inflicts only a few hundred people in the U.S. As the days and weeks go by, her condition gets more and more unstable. Medications stop working and the illnesses wreak havoc on her body.
This past year mandi has been in and out of the hospital with various complications. Each time mom her caregiver has had to miss work to be with her. And recently have had to resign due to her illness worsening.
Mandi has many medical expenses that insurance doesn't cover.
I have had to quit my job to care for mandi. Our only income source has been cut in half.
With your donations we will pay our monthly expenses.
Each donation of $35 will fill half a tank of gas for appointments, every dollar helps.
- You can be the reason that our family gets the support they desperately need so i can continue to care for mandi.
- You can help give us peace of mind to concentrate on getting mandi all not worrying about bills
- You can help with medical expenses and equipment not covered by insurance
- You can be that hero that she thanks every day for supporting her family
- Not only will your donations impact our family but a portion of every dollar we receive will go to continuing our pay it forward, chronic illness awareness campaign
You will be connected with Mandi's Instagram page and our Facebook page chronicaling our journey back east. We will provide daily updates on Mandi's health and content on our daily life. You will see video and content on the giving we do and how we help others in our community and the chronic illness community.
We will never give up, will you help us help her?
