I'm Terri and I'm raising money to help cover expenses not paid by insurance for my daughter's small bowel transplant.
Most know my daughter has always had health issues. In short, she had a bowel transplant in 2018. That led to a kidney transplant in 2020. Early 2024, she started becoming ill. That led to complications causing her to lose the bowel. The kidney is ok.
After nearly 3 months in a hospital 4 hours from home, she's home and will be active on the transplant list October 1st.
The last 8 months have been emotionally and financially draining. We got thru it with some help.
Now, we are needing help to prepare for transplant. That will require staying there for possibly months. She will be in the hospital for weeks and will have to stay in the area for an undetermined amount of time. She can't alone so someone will have to stay with her.
We all know travel and lodging are expensive. On top of primary household expenses.
Please help if you can!
