Fundraising for Rosangel Paulino: A Call for Community Support

Your Contribution Can Make a Difference in Rosangel's Life

Reason for fundraiser:

I am Rosangel Paulino’s mom. I’m trying to raise money for her medical bills and personal bills. Her medical bills include buying medications for survival and transportation to medical facilities. Her personal bills include necessities like water, rent, food, and electricity. Her fiancé lost his job because he needed to care for my daughter 24/7 at home after she was discharged on Feb 23, 2025, from the hospital after being admitted since Nov 27, 2024.

Here is my daughter’s story:

My daughter was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes at the age of 13. She was part of the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). A few years later after being diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes Rosangel was then diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Rosangel is 31 years old now and has two beautiful children, Royce and Aleia. Royce is 5 years old and Aleia is 1 year old. During both pregnancies, she developed complications, which were preeclampsia. Preeclampsia took a toll on her body, causing damage to her kidneys, eventually leading to total kidney failure.

My daughter became very ill with breathing problems, nausea, blurry vision, vomiting, and severe headaches. On Nov 7, 2024, her fiancé took her to the hospital emergency room and was told her kidneys had stopped functioning. She was transferred to a different hospital to begin dialysis treatment. A CT scan of her chest revealed fluid retention around her lungs, which was causing issues with breathing, but they never did a CT scan of her head to rule out any other issues, despite her severe headaches, blurry vision, and vomiting.

My daughter was discharged from the hospital on Nov 21, 2024, with her blood pressure high at 183/108. The hospital failed to control her blood pressure with medication before discharging her. My daughter needs dialysis three times a week to survive. On her first day at the dialysis clinic on Nov 25, 2024, she had an allergic reaction and was given an EpiPen but was never taken to the hospital as a precaution. On Nov 27, 2024, during her second visit to the dialysis clinic, she was told to have a seat and wait until a chair opened up so she could receive dialysis.

A while later, she was found unresponsive, sitting in her seat and having seizures from a lack of oxygen to her brain. She was then transported to the hospital, where they were clueless about what was happening to her. They gave her seizure medication without knowing the cause. She was then intubated and placed on a ventilator. I almost lost my daughter. My daughter has a cortical anoxic brain injury, and the hospital was unsure if she had autoimmune encephalitis or PRES. At this point, my daughter was in a coma and unresponsive.
