My Travel Story

by: Cathy Delaleu Start Date: Jul 21, 2019 - End Date: Jul 20, 2020
In 2007 I was diagnosed with lupus which is when I experience my first stroke, I've been in and out of the hospital but my dream have always been to visit Europe some day and I always joked with family that if I go most likely I won't come back. I love to travel and I love the French culture, food and history. It really hurts my soul to the core to know that everywhere I tavel now I must make sure I do dialysis. I've been on dialysis for a little over ten years due to lupus, I try to keep a positive mind but it's not easy.

My lupus has given me hashimoto's, seizures, vitiligo, hypertension and the list goes on and on.

I get discouraged,therefore, a trip to help me forget my issues would make me feel a little better. When I go away anywhere I have to make sure I do my dialysis AND pay for it, it's not free whether is a cruise or by land and it's not cheap. I am looking to visit Paris, France in 2020, but in order for it happen, I need your help. Any little donation would be appreciated and anything extra I can use for all those medical bills I get monthly due to my fishtula on my dialysis arm. It is painful but that's what's keeping me alive today. Thank you for your love and support.
