Hi everyone, my name is Lani, and I’m reaching out with deep vulnerability and hope.

For over 20 years, I’ve been battling a mysterious and debilitating condition — a parasitic infection that has gone undiagnosed since childhood. As a young girl, I was in and out of hospitals, crying out in pain, but without answers. Most doctors couldn’t find anything( The only test they were running at the time was apregnancy test) and eventually, my family stopped believing me. But the pain never stopped.

Today, I am 32 years old, and my body is still fighting this invisible war.

When these parasites flare up, I become completely immobilized — unable to move. At times, it feels like there’s a hole in my stomach, or like something rotten needs to be pulled out from deep inside me. The worms have changed in color and appearance, at first they became visible externally, now my stomach has started to blacken. I am honestly beyond freaked out. The images online are also freaking me out even more!!

I have not been able to work and have no funds for medical care. I am kindly  asking for assistance in raising money that will go towards consultations, diagnostics, and treatment.

Every contribution helps — If you can’t donate, please share this or keep me in your prayers. I am truly grateful.
