One of our most dedicated volunteers needs our help.

Saydra is a sweet, sassy, and animal-loving kiddo!
Saydra is the most outgoing, intelligent, and bright-hearted person I have ever met. She puts a smile on your face as soon as she walks into a room. She has been through far too much in her young life but dances through all of it and maintains a positive outlook. She gives back to her community and gives 100% to everything she does. But, she needs our help....
This past August, Saydra started to have bouts of dizziness and nausea, followed by weakness, and then fainting spells. Since then, things have evolved in a negative way. She is now having 40-50 non-epileptic seizures per day. After multiple emergency room visits and thousands spent on doctor's appointments, the only diagnosis they have received is "non-epileptic seizures from trauma."
Though Saydra has gone through more than her fair share in life, that diagnosis just isn't sitting quite right. Saydra's mom is a single mom doing everything she can to provide for her girls and make ends meet. Due to Saydra's medical condition, she has had to leave her job to take care of her daughter full-time. This is one of the best families I've ever met—resilient, strong, hardworking, and keeping a smile on their face through it all.
Saydra has experienced choking spells due to convulsing while she is eating, short-term amnesia where she has been unable to recognize even her own sister, and is suffering tremendously. She was discharged from the hospital with no medical equipment and without being pointed in a direction where progress would be made.
This family needs our help to raise funds to get more in-depth testing completed to rule out other diagnoses that might cause these symptoms, purchase medical equipment, meals, and everyday items that would make day-to-day life easier and more doable.
