Help Rick heal of Chrohns-Colitis.

Donation protected
As many of you may know, Rick was diagnosed over 10 years ago with Crohn’s disease & Colitis. Despite having surgery & different forms of treatment in an attempt to relieve his symptoms, the last 10 years have been filled with several painful flare ups & difficulty eating without pain. Recently, Rick & Emily have learned of a holistic program that specializes in the healing of Crohn’s & Colitis, is incredibly successful & has the potential to be a significant part of Rick’s health & healing journey!

Rick has been married to his wife, Emily, for 9 years & together they care for 3 children that God brought into their lives almost 3 years ago. In November 2022, Rick & Emily lost their firstborn daughter, Layla Jeanne, unexpectedly. This family has had an unbelievably hard & painful year, but their lives have always been marked by generosity, love and support to anyone in need. And now we have an opportunity to share the same love & support back!

The Smaczniak family would NEVER ask for help, so here we are as friends doing it for a family that is so deserving of our support. This treatment option for Rick is costly. We want to surprise him this Christmas with a gift that will impact him in an incredible way! Would you please consider blessing Rick & Emmy this Christmas season in an attempt to alleviate some of the cost of Rick’s new treatment opportunity? We would be so grateful!
