My story!

This is a true story. A heartbreaking one with a happy twist!

I have MS. Have had it since I was 17. MS is a horrible paralysing disease that has turned my body into a shell of what it once was; i was a PASSIONATE charity volunteer and activist. I've taken all the pharma meds available (not all at once lol) and my neurologist has given up on me. It is THAT bad. :(

You know when you cant dress yourself, feed yourself, wash yourself, use the bathroom by yourself it means that you have to do something drastic. so I TURN TO YOU! :D

I'm smiling because I have faith, can remain positive and see a bright and less disabled future but I can't do it alone.

My incredi-boyfriend Patrick lost his job recently and we are having an EXCEPTIONALLY DIFFICULT time paying most bills, healing MS and feeding us both and our 2 kitties...Salad anyone? *meow'*

I turn to you all because I'm TIRED OF THIS DESPERATE SITUATION. THE STRESS IS MONUMENTAL & COUNTER PRODUCTIVE.

We've determined that diet and physiotherapy, homeopathy, LIBERATION SURGERY (CCSVI is the name of said surgery) are the last best remaining options but cannot afford any of them ; THERE ARE TOO MANY.

M y dream is to get CCSVI surgery in America which includes traveling there, staying in a hotel/motel and getting an ultrasound and then the actual day surgery.

TOTAL COST is roughly $18,000.

HELP. i'm looking for enough for the surgery, post surgery physio therapy rehabilitation and the necessities post surgery like supplements.

the impact

I look forward to working out, feeling healthy, eating right, following a GET-WELL DIET AND TAKING EVERY VITAMIN, SUPPLEMENT I CAN until I am a bit better. CCSVI IS A TOTAL BONUS.

I PROMISE TO NEVER GIVE UP, ALWAYS STAY POSITIVE, TO ALWAYS MAKE A GOOD  CONTRIBUTION to theha  world (I volunteered with Engineers Without Borders for 5 years+, daily), UNICEF, and others also.
