Nancy Lockhart, M.J.: Please Donate For Medical Expenses

My sister has been diagnosed with mitochondrial myopathy, an incurable muscle disease that the doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL has said there is no cure or treatment for. My sister worked up until early 2012, when doctors said she'd be no longer able to work again. Her job ended as well as all medical benefits. She has to be seen by neurologists as well as cardiologists on a regular basis. This disease can affect every organ in the body. My sister needs help with donations in order to pay her medical expenses and medication. My sister lives with our elderly parents and they are on a fixed income trying to keep their household going as well as keeping her needs met as best they can. Thank you for your help -- Kindra Lee
