Support Kelsey’s recovery from IBS complications

Donation protected
Hello there,
My name's Kelsey and I’ve battled IBS and Ulcerative Colitis for 5 years. This past summer, I had a major flareup and was in the hospital for nearly a month due to chronic dehydration and extreme muscle weakness.

I have to use a motorized wheelchair now as I've lost the ability to walk and have limited use of my arms. I need regular at-home care to manage basic daily tasks and require ongoing treatment including IV therapy to control my symptoms.

The decline in my health has made it difficult to work and I have limited financial resources. I have not been approved for disability yet and the process can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Medicaid acts mainly as health insurance and the program I qualify for to cover at-home care has a 2-to-5-year waiting list.

As I work through this challenging time, would you help me stay afloat by donating to my GoFundMe campaign? You can make a ONE-TIME DONATION or set up a MONTHLY CONTRIBUTION to assist. Here are some examples of what your donation will cover:

$100 = one of my 5 monthly prescriptions
$250 = a week’s worth of groceries
$300 = one IV treatment

Other expenses include:
Rent - $1,745/mo.
Cell phone - $130/mo.
Credit card bills - $900/mo.

Any items you can help with are greatly appreciated. To make a donation, click the ‘DONATE NOW’ button and follow the prompts. Thank you so much!

Kelsey
