For those that can not afford Drs or surgery, Did u know....

there is a site on FB that u can use to raise funds?

I saw this one story being shared, and I have no idea what medical issue this person is having, but I thought it may be helpful for some Chiarians looking for a way to afford meds, or Dr visits, and surgery.....

Take a look at this persons page, I feel he needs more info as to what is going on, but I guess he did not want to share that info....but worth looking into.

  Well thank u for the kind words and I do believe in paying it forward, my favorite saying is from a prayer " in giving , we receive" It is from the prayer of St, Francis....I love the whole thing, but that line is something I have said  over and over thru out my journey......

Many feel upset as they feel limited by Chiari...but I see there is still something more we can do.....

i guess i found it inspiring because i'm having a difficult time with finances and know that so many people are in the same boat, but with resources like you shared here, we have the ability to help ourselves, our loved ones or even donate to help a stranger that reminds us of a time we needed help and others were there for us.  
it was also inspiring because you have shown by your actions that it's important to give suggestions and information to others as a way of paying forward what we have 1st been given.
blessings, Lori

  I am glad u found it inspiring.....all I could  see was a way for those struggling to get the finances to travel to a Dr or pay for meds....

We are always glad to have new members but sad bcuz they too either have Chiari or a loved one with it..... <3

how inspiring is that?!?! I looked at a few of the campaigns and then entered "chiari" in the search field and got about 3 pages of campaigns for people suffering from chiari and related diseases!  thank you for posting about this, Selma, and for all the other great suggestions you make to help others. I'm so grateful to have found this community!
