My younger sister is suffering from Curran Sayer Syndrome.
She has out lived all previous cases of this disease and
now that they have a permanent IV and feeding tube in her,
she could be hospitalized for quit a while.(the rest of her life)
The sad part is my sister is very much aware of her situation
despite having diabetes, being blind and slowly losing control 
of her muscular actions, she realizes the imprisonment and holds
on to an admirable attitude.

Question is, does anyone know of a foundation that would help
my sister with medical bills?

I am unaware of what this is costing but I know it must be
enormous. I'm sure my mom, who is caring for her day by day,
due to the constant care she needs and the fact that a normal
hospital would never attend to her in a timely enough fashion,
is worried about this but would never let on. 

Thanks for listening,
