Amanda's Last Chance to Live Fully Again
Hi, I'm Amanda. Just 12 years ago, even after bouts of meningitis, I was full of life --- hiking, laughing, showing up for everyone I loved. Today, even a shower can knock me out. My body is fighting a brutal battle with Chronic Lyme , multiple sclerosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and autoimmune complications, and pages of diagnoses that have robbed me of basic functioning --- from walking to simply standing.
For over a decade, I've seen doctor after doctor. Misdiagnosed. Disbelieved. Dismissed. The healthcare system has failed me. My conditions are invisible to most, but they're killing me slowly --- physically, financially, emotionally.
I've reached the end of what traditional medicine can offer. Envita Medical Center is my last hope --- a place that specializes in complex, late-stage cases like mine. But it's not covered by insurance, and the costs are overwhelming.
- I live on disability: $1,260/month. After bills, there's nothing left.
- I've had seizures, been hospitalized, and recently had to get a colostomy bag. I haven't been able to urinate on my own for 3 years. I am in rapid decline. If I don't get to Envita soon... it may be too late.
Why I'm Asking for Your Help
I've spent years suffering in silence. But now, I'm speaking up --- not just to fight for my life, but to help others know they're not alone. This disease has robbed me of so much --- but I'm still here. I want to fight for my future, and I'm asking you to help me do that.
For the last 10 years, I've struggled with my health. From chronic Lyme to cancer, autoimmune diseases, and all the other challenges, I have been battling in the dark. Despite seeing countless doctors, I've been dismissed time after time, with no real answers or treatment that would help me survive. But there is still hope.
Envita Medical Center is the only place offering specialized treatments that could save my life. They offer a holistic approach to treating Chronic Lyme, cancer, and related conditions --- one that doesn't rely on the broken medical system that's let me down.
I have no time to waste. The longer I wait, the worse it gets, and if I don't get the treatment soon, I fear I may lose my chance at a functional life forever.
My Bonus Son, Tucker
A big part of my fight is for my family --- especially Tucker, my bonus son (I don't just call him my stepson). I've had the privilege of raising him as my own, despite the hardships, and I want to be there for him as he grows into the amazing young man he's destined to be. I need to be able to show up for him, to be the mother he needs, the one he calls "mom," even though I never gave birth to him.
Thank you, from the depths of my heart. Let's make this happen --- together.

How Your Donation Will Help
I need your help to make this treatment a reality. The total cost for my 12-week treatment at Envita is $80,000. This covers the life-saving treatment, housing, food, and transportation during my stay. Every dollar you donate brings me one step closer to this treatment, one step closer to regaining the life I've lost.
The $80,000 will go directly towards:
- 12 weeks of treatment at Envita Medical Center
- Housing and living expenses for myself during treatment
- Transportation to and from the center
- Post-treatment care and follow-up
- Essential daily needs to maintain my health during this process
From My Heart, Thank You
I want to live. I want to feel what it's like to walk and be active and actually live, to create art again, to be able to utilize my passion for cooking, to have the energy and ability to see and spend time with family and friends, to be able to be more involved with my church again, to be an active member of society and be an even better mother figure to Tucker which I am unable to do now and that takes a big toll on me, to experience joy in the simplest things. This is my only chance, and I need your help.
Please, if you can, donate. Even $10 helps. And if you can't donate, sharing this could reach someone who can.
This treatment is the only chance I have to reclaim any quality of life. I just want to be present for the people I love --- not in pain, not fighting to survive every minute. With your help, I can begin healing.
Your Support Could Save My Life
I'm asking for your help because without it, I fear I won't have another chance to fight for the life I once had. Every day is a struggle, and every moment that passes is another moment closer to losing everything I hold dear. But with your support, I can take that first step toward healing.
Even the smallest contribution can bring me closer to the treatment that could save my life. If you can't donate, sharing this campaign with your network can make a world of difference. Every share, every prayer, every ounce of support counts.
Please, help me make this fight count. Help me reclaim my future. Together, we can rewrite my story --- one filled with hope, love, and the chance to live again.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, with love and gratitude.
Amanda
