"Hi everyone,

Another update has been posted to my corwdfunding site. Please read and share and donate if you can. I can still make it through and I have someone who is very caring who has reached out and willing to help. But I need your help in order to get the help that I need. Did I say that right? 🤔

Going without even bare necessities such as safe housing and enough food and supplements to help my depleted body. This is critical for me to survive and no one should be going through what I am. No one. Especially when dealing with infections in the brain, swelling and not being able to figure out what to do or where to go because of this. Completely alone. And because this is all internal, those who see me cannot tell I'm sick at all so they don't see the help I need. I struggle to remember sometimes how to cook or what clothing is appropriate for the day.

I would very much like to live and have a place to live and heal so that I can work again and stand on my own two feet like I did before all of this. I also want and need to be able to get to a point where I can pay for my own treatments and care. But more recovery needs to happen before I can even think about working again.

As of now, I'm going without any treatment and this is very dangerous ( No, not being overdramatic. These illnesses I am dealing with do and will take lives everyday. One being one of my good friends recently). They just aren't as well known as other illnesses and so people don't think it's a big deal. This is so much more complicated than just some aching joints or allergies to things.

Many people have turned away from me because they don't understand my illnesses and don't take them seriously like they do others. Or they are just sick of my situation and being sick. Trust me, I AM TOO. It breaks my heart more than I can begin to express as this is very real and I am just as in need of love, support and understanding. It's been devastating watching so many of my relationships desolve over the years because of my health. My whole community. Especially now when I finally have the answers I looked for for so long!

This is all very hard for me to put out here. I'm still so embarrassed. But I promise, I'm still the same Lisa you knew inside and this is the LAST thing I want to be talking about or posting about on social media. There's too many funny vifeos and memes out there that I need to be posting instead! 😆 I'm hoping and praying that I don't have to anymore very soon. I'm sure many out there wish the same as this isn't a "fun" or "funny" post to see on your feed. I get it.

I know I was missing from peoples lives for a very long time because I was too sick to do anything and had no idea at that point what was even happening to me. All I knew was my entire body was breaking down and the medical community watched it happen with indifference year after year. All my friends saw was me canceling plans and falling off the face of the Earth.

I often had to cancel plans at the last minute and I hated it. I'm naturally a social person. Which is why this isolation that has come with this has been one of the hardest things about this to deal with.

I'm sorry and I promise you, I always wanted to be there. I still do. I still love to laugh and dance and play and just be silly. All things I'm wanting to be able to to do again. I don't want to miss anything else.

The doctors and treatments I desperately need are not covered by insurance. At all. For very political reasons and it's disgraceful and shameful. Remeber AIDS in the early 80s? No treatment and no one understood it and people just left to get sicker and sicker until they were gone? All because of denial and prejudice. Well, it's a lot like that. Unless you are lucky enough to catch this stuff in the very beginning or are wealthy enough to fly to other countries for expensive treatments. I wasn't that lucky.

The cost of recovering from these illnesses, especially when it means finding a new home, is staggering. And it makes people like me who had already lost everything due to
