After 2 years of being a full time caregiver to my daughter Tori, finances have been exhausted and while I am working on hopefully getting more help to care for her, in the immediate, I am her only source for full time caregiving.

Tori, (bottom right in picture) has been diagnosed with a couple of rare conditions.  One is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and the other is POLG-related Mitochondrial Disorder. The combination has had us seeing specialists such as Neurology, GI, Geneticist, Psychiatrist, Endocrinologist, DO, Urogynecologist, and OBGYN.  Due to the excruciating pain she is in daily whenever she tries to stand or move, I am needed to help her to the bathroom, help her with all her hygienic needs, and help get her food. I also deal with her understandable anxiety, due to her condition, as she also has been diagnosed with high functioning autism. 

I have been unable to find more than very minimal part time work as freelance proofreader and editor, thus the need for this platform. 

Your donations will make such a difference as we continue this journey. Between rent ($1800/month), Utilities ($750/mo) and food, gas and dry goods($750/mo) $3300 just meets our needs, but leaves nothing extra. 

Thank you for considering to help me as I help my daughter!  Our hope is finding good doctors who understand Ehlers Danlos and connective tissue disorders to help get us meaningful therapy that can reduce her pain and help get her walking again.
