Four years ago, I got bit by a spider and became sick. I spent six months going from doctor to doctor before someone could finally give me a diagnosis. My illness affected my vision to the point that I couldn’t read or write for two years, and it was scary not knowing why. Getting diagnosed with illnesses such as Bartonella allowed me to start getting treated. After a long time of treatments, I was finally able to read again. I still have ongoing issues related to Bartonella, but getting my vision back was a huge part of my recovery. This journey has been very stressful for my whole family, both emotionally and financially. It has taken a big toll on everyone. I know that the cost of medical tests, doctors' appointments, and treatments can be very difficult for many families to manage. I would like to help other families who struggle with medical debt, and children who need help getting diagnosed.
