  • Surgery #4 coming up

    The pain and issues continue.
    I am having surgery AGAIN on Friday, 3/20/26, to try to close my fistula again. The problem is that my current feeding tube is too close to the fistula site, which is making it very hard to close. My skin has burns on it from the stomach acid and bile that continues to come up through the fistula. I would greatly appreciate prayers that surgery #4 closes it entirely, and if you could please share my fundraiser page with those you know!
    Thank you!
    I greatly appreciate all the prayers and donations I have received thus far!


About this fundraiser

I have been in and out of the hospital since September, and the bills and expenses keep racking up. The gas expenses on credit cards from traveling to medical appointments, and now, since my van had a very unexpected repair that was necessary, which is going to cost $4,000. My van is how I get to medical appointments and school because it is an adapted, wheelchair-accessible van, so I can use my power wheelchair. 

I have additional surgeries in the future, and I have to meet $4,000 with my insurance to get total coverage for everything. I still have to pay for gas, and when my mom stays with me, she needs food, which can become very expensive as well. 
 

My goal of 10,000 will cover what I owe from last year, my van repairs, the health insurance costs I have already racked up this year, and pay off the gas charges from my December-January hospital admission. Leaving me with $500 to put towards upcoming travel for medical appointments and gas. 
 

Anything is helpful!
