New fundraisers:
Anna Dosso of Georgetown, Minnesota, has been suffering from a nervous system disorder since she was a teenager. One morning she woke up and couldn’t move her right leg from the knee down. Now in her 30s, her condition has progressed significantly, decreasing her function in all four extremities. Recent genetic testing revealed that she has a rare type of gene mutation. She is pursuing treatment at the University of Minnesota and is committed to regaining her strength and mobility to continue working as a home health nurse. The funds raised through her online Lend A Hand Up fundraiser will help Anna access medical care, obtain mobility devices, and provide for her two sons Gabriel, 8, and Max, 18 months.
