I went to boarding school in the Canary Islands, Spain with this woman and her two older brothers back in 1972. I was a Senior, and she was a very cute and precocious 12 year old. She was the Boarding house mascot, and was under everyone's wing. Their Mother was a news anchor/reporter with CBS. The following is from her Go fund me page.
In April of 2021, my mom received her COVID-19 vaccine in an attempt to protect herself from the virus. Within 2 weeks of the second dose, a rare auto-immune condition was triggered called Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP). This is a RARE neurological disorder that targets her body’s nerves. This left her with numbness and weakness in her whole body, and inability to use her right side. She cannot lift her right leg more than an inch, and struggles to use her right side. It is slowly progressing to her left side, and she has extreme difficulty with basic tasks, and cannot use the stairs to get to the only second floor bathroom. Therefore, the downstairs kitchen must be cut in half so that a handicapped accessible bathroom can be built, so my mother can be at home comfortably, rather than in a facility. She will also need a ramp built at the front door, so she is able to get to physical therapy and doctor’s appointments, which are currently very difficult for her as she has to use the steps and use 2 wheelchairs to do so.
I’m asking for help so that my mother is not a prisoner in her own house. Anybody who knows my mother knows how much she’s done for her friends, family, community and even complete strangers. She is a giver in every sense of the word, and desperately needs help in the funding of this bathroom build. (The permit has been granted to build the bathroom/ramp, so as soon as financially able, the building of it will start.)
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and for helping me get my mother her freedom back.
