Mechanitis Polymnia Casabranca

*clap clap clap*

Hey there! My name is Meg and I’m a 16 year old girl with a rare disease called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. EDS is a rare disease that affects every cell in my body, it is causing my body to literally destroy itself and is getting worse every day. I became ill at 13 years old, by the age of 14 i was wheelchair bound. When i was 15, i was left completely bed bound due to severe complications in my head and neck. My brain is sinking in my head, causing my spine to collapse, this is causing my brain stem to twist and spinal cord to bend - it is putting pressure on my windpipe when I move and makes breathing very difficult. The days are dark and right now, there is no light.

But i am not giving up

in order to keep fighting i need an incredibly complex surgery to stabilise and correct the problems in my cervical spine and skull.. This surgery has never been performed in my country before so i have to get american surgeons involved. There are a lot of expenses that I simply cannot afford.

I used to have a blog with 25,000 incredible followers that helped me stay strong but my blog was hacked and deleted the other day. i used my blog to raise money for my very expensive medical needs and now I’m earning nothing. I remade, with the same url, hoping that i will be able to raise/earn more money. i will not give up. i have fought so hard, i can’t give up. So if you have a few pounds/dollars/euros/etc that you don’t need or whatever then i would really appreciate if you could donate to my gofundme, which is: http://www.gofundme.com/team-meg

Alternatively, if you do not have money to spare, I have ads on my blogs. This is my humour blog and this is my main blog. All I need from you is 1 click on each ad, keep the tab open for five minutes and you will be helping me out hugely. It takes very little effort and it has a huge impact.

Thank you so much for reading this and sharing/donating/etc. i really appreciate it, have a wonderful day <3

Confession: I have a friend who likes to text me at like 4am when he’s had nightmares or he can’t sleep or he just needs a friend. He thinks I’m always awake at 4am but really I go to bed around 12am and I change his text-tone to the loudest one I have just so it wakes me up when he needs me.

If you are having a bad day, my advice to you is to please go to google image search and type in “sleeping hyena.” Please. Do it for your health.

More than 1,400 dead as magnitude-7.8 quake rocks Nepal

A powerful earthquake — the country’s worst in 80 years — rocked mountainous Nepal on Saturday, killing more than 1,400 people and leveling buildings and centuries-old temples. Dozens if not hundreds remained trapped under mounds of rubble.

Hospitals in the capital of Katmandu were so crowded that many of the injured were treated outside in the open, according to local media. The magnitude-7.8 quake, which shook a wide swath of northern India and Tibet, also triggered avalanches in the Himalayas, killing at least eight people at Mount Everest’s base camp.

Nepal police said at least 1,457 people were killed.

Outside Nepal, at least 20 people were also killed in India, six in Tibet and two in Bangladesh. Two Chinese citizens died at the Nepal-China border. Given the scale of the destruction, the death toll is almost certain to rise, said Laxmi Dhakal, Nepal’s Home Ministry official. (x)

If you can please donate to the Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund!

You can also donate to the American Red Cross by texting “redcross” to 90999. That text will result in a $10 donation to the disaster relief fund.
