HI I AM NICOLA PATTERSON, I LOST MY DAUGHTER SHENADE RECENTLY DUE TO HER DISGNOSIS WITH A LUNG DISEASE CALLED HTLV1 WHICH CAUSES HER TO DEPEND ON OXYGEN TO BREATHE. UNFORTUNATELY, SHE LOST HER FIGHT TO THE DISEASE BUT DUE TO THE STRUGGLES I’VE BEEN THROUGH WITH MY DAUGHTER, FROM ONE HOSPITAL TO THE NEXT, IT HAS WORSEN A SPINAL SICKNESS THAT I SUFFER FROM AND I’M NOW IN A CONDITION WHERE I’M UNABLE TO WALK ON MY OWN WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF A WALKER.

I AM YET TO FIND OUT THE NAMED CAUSE OF THIS ILLNESS BUT I HAVE TO BE USING A WALKER TO MOVE AROUND OR PEOPLE HAVE TO HELP ME TO MOVE. I CAN’T EVEN GET IN OR COME OUT OF A VEHICLE WITHOUT GETTING ASSISTANCE. IVE SPENT OVER 250,000 JMD DOING MRIs AND THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT EVERYTHING IS FINE BUT THIS IS WHAT I’M GOING THROUGH. I’M ALSO DIABETIC WHICH MAKES THINGS EVEN HARDER BECAUSE I HAVE TO BE TAKING MEDICATIONS DAILY BUT DUE TO MY PHYSICAL AND MEDICAL CHALLENGES I’M UNABLE TO EVEN WORK TO SUSTAIN THE PURCHASING OF THESE MEDICINES AND TO CARE FOR MYSELF ADEQUATELY.

AT THIS POINT, I’M SEEKING HELP FOR AN ALTERNATIVE REPORT FROM A MEDICAL CHECK UP TOWARDS MY MEDICAL CONDITION (WHETHER LOCALLY OR OVERSEAS). I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO START A SMALL BUSINESS TO SELL ITEMS SUCH AS SHEET, CURTAIN AND MAT SETS, CHEMICALS AND ANY OTHER HOUSEHOLD ITEMS TO PROVIDE FOR AND TAKE CARE OF MYSELF. I’M BARELY ABLE TO FIND FOOD AT TIMES SO I WOULD LIKE TO USE THIS MEDIUM IN ASKING FOR A MINIMUM OF 500,000 JMD TO START OFF MY BUSINESS AND ASSIST WITH MY MEDICAL EXPENSES.

I’M REALLY THANKFUL FOR YOUR DONATIONS.
