Asking for help for a friend

lavendersparkA good friend of mine has been suffering debilitating migraines for several years now. Recently they've become all day every day. She's no longer able to work. She's asked family for help, but they are not able to help her at this time.
She's asking for help raising $700 by 11/14/18 so that she can keep her apartment and pay medical bills. I've set up a PayPal account to send money to her. The account is in my name, but all money raised will go to her. paypal.me/lavenderspark.
If you can't help financially, please spread the word, or if you know of any resources that may be available to her, please let me know. She lives in Indiana and has tried to find help, but does not qualify for disability.
In her own words: "I've had several medical issues for the last few months and they're getting worse daily. It's a combination of horrible chronic daily migraines that never go away. And that has sent me into a hopeless depression because I've tred everything to get better for a decade now. Doctors, procedures, drugs, tests, injections, MRI's, infusions, spinal tap, etc. Doctor after doctor.. no relief. I suffer 24 hours daily and I'm unable to work. I've thankfully gotten so much help from family financially that I can never repay them or show my appreciation. I'm afraid that I'm at a point where they no longer have the money to support me, so I'm reaching out to anyone and everyone I know. I'm trying to donate plasma, contact churches and charities, but I need $700 by 11/14/18. The plasma and little things I can do just won't add up in time before I'm evicted. I've been struggling for years and it gets worse each day. The HOPELESSNESS of having lifelong chronic daily pain is feeding into MAJOR DEPRESSION and I'm getting help for that. But now I'm asking for help from anyone that cares about me for a little hope, prayers, and hopefully any financial support to keep a roof over my head so I can continue my psychiatric treatment and learn to live and cope with the constant pain. I'm sorry to ask anyone. Please contact me through messaging unless you'd like to send prayers / thoughts or some type of kind encouraging words. Thank you for reading all this."
