Campaign Story
Hi Everyone,
I am raising funds for my sister Ruliën Stoltz (28), who was diagnosed with an illness called "Myasthenia Gravis".
For those of you who are not familiar with this illness, it causes a weakness and rapid fatigue of muscles under voluntary control.
The condition is caused by a breakdown in communication between nerves and muscles.
And the Symptoms of include weakness in the arm and leg muscles, double vision and difficulties with speech and chewing.
Treatment can help manage this illness, but there is no cure.
More Information: Myasthenia Gravis
As a result of this illness she is unable to work, as any amount of stress aggravates the illness. So you can imagine with not being able to work and with financial commitments to honor, unwanted stress does not help the cause. On her most recent checkup with a specialist, he advised that her condition has deteriorated by +-11%, and required her to be hospitalised for immediate treatment.
All that I am asking of you is for some assistance in the form of donations to help my little sister to meet her financial needs. Although we cannot cure this illness atleast with your donations we can manage her stress levels to a certain extent, and hopefully she can live a relatively normal life.
Thanking you in advance.
