Our sister/daughter/friend, Chelsey, is fighting a battle most people can’t see — but it’s a battle that’s taking over her entire body. She has Stage IV endometriosis, and it’s so severe that her colon, intestines, and pelvic organs are fused together. Every day, she lives in extreme pain and faces the risks of serious complications.

Her condition has already stolen so much from her — countless days of work, endless doctor visits, and painful procedures that have taken a toll on her body, her spirit, and her finances. The pain is constant, the exhaustion is real, and yet she keeps pushing forward.

Her local doctors in Montana have done everything they can, but her case is beyond what they can treat here. She urgently needs to travel to a major medical center with a specialized surgical team that can safely separate her organs and remove the disease. This surgery isn’t optional — it’s critical for her health and her future.

Getting this care means leaving home for several weeks. It means surgery with specialists, hospital stays, and recovery far from family. It means travel expenses, hotels, food, lost work income, and ongoing bills — all while she’s trying to heal.

We are asking for help to cover:

• Travel to and from the specialist hospital

• Hotel and food for Chelsey and a support person (me and/or Mom)

• Medical costs not covered by insurance

• Household bills and debts while she recovers and can’t work

• Some comfort and stress relief knowing that she can recover and not worry about the aftermath as much.

Any amount helps — whether it’s $5 or $50 — it all adds up. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page to help us reach others who might.

Chelsey is a fighter. She’s someone who shows up for others even when she’s hurting. Now it’s our turn to show up for her. Let’s get her the surgery she needs so she can live without this constant pain.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping make this possible.
