Here is one more photo of Angel showing how wonderful and beautiful she is!!!
This photo is from Angel's Facebook page, she posts photos like this because she is afraid of losing her eyesight! This photo is of her cousin/(niece) in an eye showing how much she enjoys seeing her family!
Angel despite her disease and what she has to go through on a daily basis puts a smile on her face to please others and is a wonderful role model to her cousins and other family and friends!
Here are some more photos of this beautiful girl I get to call my daughter, ANGEL! I love this girl with all my heart and I hate to see her have to go through this pain and misery because of all the treatments, surgeries, trips to the hospital, missing school, missing activities with friends and family all because of this darn disease! Angel is a strong girl and will grow to be a strong woman with everything she ahs had to go through already! Angel is my inspiration and I would love to give back to her before she cannot see anymore!!!
Here is another pic uploaded off Angel's Facebook page from her phone, showing how tired she is of the treatments she has to endure! The sad truth is these treatments will be life long in order to keep the JRA at bay so her vital organs don't get attack by this disease!
Here is another photo of Angel to show her eyes and how there is a major difference in color, cloudiness, and alignment in her eyes! Angel deserves her sight just like anyone else does, but this disease is taking it from her too early so if anyone is able to assist in giving her a chance to enjoy her sight while she still has it we thank you in advanced!
This photo was uploaded off Angel's phone that she had posted on her Facebook page to show how tired she is of going every month to the Children's Hospital in Milwaukee, WI to get infusions! She definitely needs a break or something to enjoy!
This pic of Angel shows how her two eyes are different colors and the cloudiness you can see in her left eye from the uveitis, she is now unable to see out of her left eye at all! Angel is also loosing sight in her right eye due to the uveitis and JRA.
Angel with only one of the pairs of sunglasses she needs to wear during high lighted rooms or being outside. She fashionably wears them that's for sure!
I'm reaching out for help, because I want to give my child Angel a gift that she will take with her the rest of her life. At the age of our Angel was diagnosed with JRA, and a year after that she was also diagnosed with Uveitis. To try and explain, JRA is arthritis in children, and in children the arthritis doesn't only affect the joints in the body, like it does in adults. Some types of JRA arthritis also affects the organs in children.
It can affect the eye's, heart and kidneys etc. A good majority of children out grow JRA, but Angel was not one of those children that are lucky enough to out grow JRA. In Angel's case it continued to get worse. By the time they located the Uveitis it had cause her to have a cataract in her left eye. The doctors did surgery and she receive a little bit of her vision back. It wasn't long before her eye's ben to flare up again. Angel is now thirteen and she has gone totally blind in her left eye. she has receive several other surgeries on her left eye, plus surgeries on her knee joints. Every month we travel two hours to Children's Hospital of Milwaukee. There are months we travel to Milwaukee three to four times a month. Angel receives infusions every month, she has been on almost every medication there is for children for treatment for this illness, she also has to have eye drops put in each eye every day , six in her left eye and four in her right eye. Around the age of nine they diagnosed her as having a Chronic Illness that she will never out grow. Throughout all the hardships this girls been through, she still carries straight A&B in school. Plus on average she misses school at least six to ten days of school a month. I don't know how she does it but I'm very, very proud of her. This is why I'm asking for help so I can do something very special for her. I am also on disability so this makes it hard for me to afford anything special for her.
My wish is to give her a vacation of a life time, a vacation that will she will remember the rest of her life. Because none of the doctors can give me any type of diagnosis of what her condition will be a five years from now or a year from now.
Please fell free to research what JRA and Uveitis does to children. Please feel free to contact me about her condition.
