My partner and spouse wrote this fundraiser for our family because I haven't the brain power to do this.

Please read, if you can:

We are a family of five living in Bath, #Michigan. All five of us are disabled in different ways, but we have found a way to get by and thrive for many years. However, one parent had a sudden severe downturn of health at the beginning of this summer that has left us unable to continue getting the income that we need. The parent has several chronic medical conditions, #HidradenitisSuppurativa , Elhers Danslos Syndrome, and #POTS, as well as #autism

An infection brought home from school in May has led to a cascading series of medical emergencies, which resulted in hospitalization and a surgical procedure for a deep abscess in the thigh which will take months to heal, as well as physical therapy. The parent was bedbound for over a month, causing me to lose my job. I will still be unable to get a job for several more weeks, but I will be able to resume substitute teaching once the school year begins again and the children return to school in September.

We have to get through one month without being able to work, and we are asking for help to support our family through this difficult period, so that the parent can remain on bed rest and fully recover from the medical procedure.

Our family's chronic health conditions require a very specific diet to prevent events like this. Our children also have many severe food #Allergies This makes us unable to utilize food banks. I have already tried going to many different pantries. There was only one thing that we could eat, and we could not choose what we got, so we ended up with a lot of food that we had to throw away. This is the first abscess like this that the parent has had in four years, and it came when we were low on food and had to eat something we normally would not.

We greatly appreciate any who take the time to read this. We are also unable to get basic household needs and are having to get by without many medications and other essentials. We have an Amazon wish list with household items that we need but will not be able to buy for several months, which you can find here:

Myles and his team studied eczema "hot spots" around the country and found that #diisocyanates and #isocyanates were the most prevalent chemicals in the environment. These chemicals are used in #polyurethane products, such as adhesives, flexible foams, carpeting and fabrics.

My productive time ended early today after I somehow exposed myself to an allergen. I hate that. #Allergies

If you take #Montelukast whether branded as #Singulair or generic for #Allergies or #Asthma it would be a good idea to read this bulletin from the #FDA and give consideration to whether it is worth continuing.

OK disclaimer... I know they aren't traditional. So please don't come at me.

But, its #WorldLanguagesDay tomorrow and my youngest is learning about #Wales. A few weeks ago her whole class tasted #WelshCakes but due to her having #Allergies she wasn't included. So I've made some mini #Vegan ones for her to share with her friends.

They actually taste delicious.

So in my personal #research about #autism so I can understand myself better as well my daughters and granddaughter…oh ya..and my mother…there is a lot of stuff online I find questionable. Because it is. Is there a site or #catalog of sites and info that is legit..a one stop shop thing…that doesn’t include folks trying to cure autism? I would like to find more #genetic info. and related things that are common with autism like maybe #allergies and other medical conditions. #ActuallyAutistic

Did you know that corn maize is added to nearly everything that you buy in one form or another? Corn has been given hundreds of names in its byproducts and derivatives. Claims have also been made trying to distance the fact that some of these products are other things and not corn. If you begin to react to corn, your shopping basket is very sparse indeed.

Lipid Transfer Proteins are found in all higher plants. They are a growing concern for two reasons, firstly they cannot be destroyed either by heating to 100°C or industrial food processing, secondly they are becoming a prime allergen to humans and their pets.

We've known people will intense #digestion, #skin, #appetite and other issues. Going #organic, #ethical and #bigFish-free fixed them – even #reflexes improved.

Though we support #urbanFarms, farm-to-fork distances being reduced, and flow-on benefits for #communities in doing this, it cannot be at the expense of #nutrition and seedFreedom.

@griffinkate
Yes. More re #allergies…

The #herbicides they spray #soy with also. They put that soy in everything, including #animalFeed.

Farmers are known to use the toxic #weedkiller known as #glyphosate to speed up the drying process for #coffee (see #nescafe)/wheat. We posit this is a reason for the #glutanFree epidemic (not the #wheat itself).

#Pollution in fish. The bigger the fish, the more #murcury.

Also, kids today are born with #microplastics in them.
