This campaign is designed to help a member of the community who has always given back without being asked. Carol Bradford is a single mother to 2 young men and has spent the last 30 years working as a social worker in Central Illinois, helping others with life stability, mental health, and addiction issues. Now she needs OUR help.

Carol Bradford suffers from two chronic long term autoimmune diseases. Myasthenia Gravis and Multiple Sclerosis. Myasthenia Gravis causes issues with chewing, swallowing and breathing in addition to many other symptoms. Multiple Sclerosis causes fatigue and muscle weakness. There is no cure for either disease.

Carol has been off work since April 21, 2022. She will remain on unpaid leave from work for an extended amount of time. Carol will be receiving IVIG treatment and physical therapy to help return to a physical capacity to be able to return to work. Carol will need funding for medical equipment, medical expenses and living expenses.

Please assist us in assisting her in her greatest time of need. This is a rolling campaign, as Carol will be off work, unpaid for an extended amount of time. Anything you can donate will help go towards her quality of life during this unfortunate medical emergency.
