Help Emily's Family Visit During Hospital Stay

My name is Emily Delacruz. In March 2022, I was diagnosed with Graves' disease, a form of hyperthyroidism that causes an overactive thyroid and makes my heart pump really hard. Since then, my health has taken an extreme toll on my body.

On September 21, I was admitted to the hospital after experiencing a thyroid storm, a rare case where the thyroid attacks your entire body. I'm currently at Saint Francis in Tulsa, and my doctor doesn't yet know when I'll be released.

My family lives in Henryetta, Oklahoma, and they want to be here to support me, but the distance makes it hard for them. Gas and food costs add up quickly when they're traveling back and forth to visit. I'm raising funds to help make it easier for my family to be here with me during this time. Your support would mean so much to us.
