Story
Armani, my granddaughter, is a spunky, beautiful 6 year old little girl, who was diagnosed with SMA at 4 months old. SMA is a neuromuscular disease that affects motor neurons. It affects mobility, has harsh respiratory implications, and a host of other issues. Armani, in her short life has had many hospitalizations due to respiratory failure from common colds. When she is hospitalized, it takes weeks for her lungs to recover and requires around-the-clock protocol to keep her out of the hospital. She is currently inpatient (again) with pneumonia and paraflu. This makes it extremely difficult for my daughter, her mom to keep employment. Her only income in currently SSI, which is definitely not enough to sustain a healthy life. I am seeking help for her rent so she can focus on caring for her beautiful daughter. Thank you for reading.
