Friends of Ann Jorda
Lets help Ann through this difficult time and back on her feet!
Our darling Ann was helicoptered to hospital with sudden paralysis. She has since been diagnosed with Guillian-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a rare disorder in which your body's immune system attacks your nerves. Weakness and tingling in your extremities are usually the first symptoms which can quickly spread, eventually paralyzing your whole body. GBS can be fatal but there is reason for optimism as Ann is reacting positively to medicine.
She is unable to not only work but even move and is set to stay in hospital and in rehabilitation for months (we expect at least 6 months). We are raising funds to keep her flat going (rent top-up, utilities) as well as hospital/physiotherapy bills. She is likely to lose her job and may need a wee bit to tie her over until the next chapter in her life.
Her pets have been temporarily rehomed, but a more permanent solution may have to be found.
We are counting on your support!
