My name is Hollie and I am in need of help to fund my surgery to have my ileostomy 2nd surgery to fix the hole in my colon and reverse the lleostomy back to normal. I am struggling with feeling a lot of shame for not being able to take care of this on my own it is hard for me ask help especially when it comes to financial help.  , the story begins like this I'm 41 years old, my life isn't over yet right? Well sometimes it doesn't feel that way. Back in August 21st to be exact. I hadn't been feeling well for about a week and I had had enough of always being in pain and Only if Tylenol could subsided the pain but nothing was. So went to baptist hospital emergency room and I was admitted and going in to emergency surgery , well nothing about hospitals are fast.  I would be going into emergency surgery within a few hours .t. I never thought it would happn to me. But it did!!!   I have a ileostomy, a bag I have to wear e second of every minute of every day until I get better and then they said that he could repair the problem and then reverse the ileostomy back.  3 months after now I'm praying to get to my 2nd surgery and then a third to get it reversed back to normal and I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon. Because I found out that to the reversal surgery costs have to be paid in full before I can get a appointment for the surgery and I don't have any insurance that will cover the cost of the sugery . Surgeon fees , physicians fees , radiology, oNone of it is covered by my insurance and I'm not financially able to pay the cost . I just came from beng homeless , almost 2 years homeless living in the woods in a tent, and now to renting a room by the love of God.i can't work, and Joe is working but barely makes enough to pay for the rent were behind a week. We catch up then something else. I want to have this reverse surgery so I can get back to my life, working again and feeling some what kind like myself again. I have a hard time with my appliance my stoma is awkward shape so it doesn't stay on for more than a day or so. I can't even afford the supplies. My friend from middle school and bffl has blessed me with supplies and I am so grateful for her help.  please help me fund and support my medical surgery to reverse the ileostomy surgery.  Im Thankful for the help and understanding of someone like me that's needs a little bit more so the struggle can go, thank you so much for reading this,  y and thank you for your help and support. Bless you all

Love always Hollie Stephens
