Can you help Itza recover

Donation protected

If you know me or not it would mean everything if you could please a take minute to read this. My name is Itzamarie and have been fighting for my life for the past 6 years. On July of 2016, about to turn 19 years old I was diagnosed with cancer for the first time (currently in remission thanks to God's grace and power) and now am 23 years old trying to live as close as I can to "normal" but am struggling. I am a college student who is supposed to be enjoying my early 20's, hanging out with friends, going out, and making memories. Instead I have been battling with severe chronic illnesses that have left me hospital bound and bed written. I experience constant pain due to these illnesses and am left with zero energy to complete tasks on my own such as bathing. I have undergone multiple surgeries, treatments, had organs removed, biopsies, hospitalizations, invasive procedures and am currently with a feeding tube in order to stay alive. Despite having medical insurance has left a huge financial strain on my family and myself. I am unable to obtain a job due to my illnesses and constant hospital visits, which left me using up the savings I had set aside for my future. Though I try maintaining a positive attitude it has become incredibly difficult to push on. Asking for help has been incredibly difficult for me my entire life because it makes me feel like I am not strong enough. My family has been as supportive as they could be during these incredibly difficult times and have moved in with me to take care of me 24/7. So far none of my current doctors have been able to find a solution nor find an accurate diagnoses for everything going on with my health and we have looked at experts out of state to see if there is a possible light at the end of this tunnel. Constantly looking for doctors, trying new treatments and medications plus hospital bills have piled on high aside from other expenses such as my education and so on. The physical pain and emotional turmoil has piled on high and as a last resort I decided to create this gofundme. I ask if you could please help in any way that you can such as donations, prayers, or taking one minute to share. Anything is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking your time out to read this. 

All funds will be geared towards my medical bills, medication, surgeries and dr appointments
