https://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/rena-lupus-fund/268108 Â Hi, my name is Rena and i live in Georgia. Â I have 27 diagnosed illnesses the most important is Lupus and Mixed Connective Tissue disease. I see about 6 doctors to date. I also have high blood pressure, low iron, pre diabetic. I have 7 kids, 2 are adults. I am in need of reliable transportation to get to the doctors. My mom takes me now but she has Lupus and is in constant pain from her illness. Sometimes i use my son's car but it is not really reliable. I have taken the medical transport bus, but they leave me stranded for up to 2 hrs. I feel if i can not get back and forth to my doctors so they can continue my car, my 5 children that are not adults will be orphans. I have raised $350 but used the money to pay for gas to get to the doctors and pay for rides. I am to the point of giving up hope and not going to the doctors. My calendar is constantly full of appts. and also appts. for my kids. I would use the money to buy a car that is reliable and also keep gas in it to get to my appts. They want to also add a neurologist because of dark spots on my brain and a physical therapist because of my back- degenerative disk and arthritis in my back. Please help if you can. Thank you.
