Ashley's Journey, Please Read!

Thank you for taking time to look over this and read my story, it is only with great humility that I am able to write this asking for help. Saying that I am in desperate need of some assistance. I can no longer do this alone. My current funds you see listed have been exhausted. I have 370$ left of that amount and I need 3000K.

My name is Ashley Scott. I am 29 years old. In 2009 I was diagnosed with a disease called Interstitial Cystitis (IC). Also called painful bladder syndrome. I also have Irritable Bowel Syndrome with constipation. My large intestine was removed in May 2014 due to Colonic Inertia/mega colon. (It stopped working) I just also recently found out I have gastroparesis which means my stomach is not emptying my food into my small intestine, therefore causing me a lot of pain and trips to the emergency room. My small intestine is currently giving me problems as well dealing with motility issues.

I’m looking to have a major surgery called the Barnett Continent Intestinal Reservoir done and I need help for the funding to fly to Florida and Fly back. They don’t perform it in Oklahoma. I have been approved through the Pasadena Hospital in St. Peteburg, Florida as a candidate for the surgery. I would stay 21 days in the hospital. Then I will fly home. I need help with the funding while I am away and getting me there and back. I need about 3000K and I have raised 370$. Anything is greatly appreciated. This surgery will greatly improve my quality of life. I’m excited yet horrified at the same time. The amount you see listed went to my procdures I have had done and I have 370$ left of it for my new 3000K total I need.
 
I financially struggle on a day to day bases. My family has poured out just about all they have left to help me with weekly groceries and bills. My paychecks range from about $24.00-$70.00 a week after I am garnished for child support and my rent. I lost custody of my 4 year old little boy last July and the child support is the lowest we could get in down too which is $543.00 monthly. I am nervous to even post this in fear of judgment and ridicule but I need some help pretty bad. I battle daily stomach issues such as I am not able to eat gluten or anything with peanuts. I feel full but I am hungry, my stomach burns, my food sits in my stomach, and eventually it will empty. My IC flares come and go, recently they have been pretty painful due to my stomach being inflamed, it inflames my IC. The way I can describe an IC flare is like someone is cutting my bladder with a razor blade, and its bleeding. I say all this to tell you these are daily battles I face. I am having to miss a lot of work due to doctor’s apps/procedures. Which is scary because I am not in a position to be losing my job, but these things have to be done I can’t help it. 

Prayers are greatly appreciated and if you feel called to donate to my gofundme account, I would be grateful for either.  I am a woman of integrity today. I am so eternally grateful for at least to whomever reads this, I believe in time with faith and doing the next right thing the best I am able things will get better and I will heal. Right now I am needing some help. I am not one to put my business out in the public view like this so this is very scary. For the ones who do donate my deep debt is owed to you and your kindness. I owe you so much more than money. May you be blessed in abundance.  


Love,
Ashley Scott
