Friends&Family Helping The Forss(Flannery) Family
Beschermde donatie
Many of you already know that Colleen and her family have been going through a lot these past two years. Unexpected medical issues have hit Colleen hard and have required 13 hospital stays during this time.
Colleen was diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease, Ulcerative Colitis, a little over a month after their 3rd baby was born August of 2017. She will never get an exact answer as to how this happened but the doctors believe her immune system attacked her body from the trauma of c-section followed by post-partum preeclampsia as she was completely healthy until right after the birth of Dylan. The standard medications have not worked and she has also worked thru Biologics medicines such as Remicade, Humira and Xeljanx, all of which have failed in some way. Colleen has started Entyvio infusions, but has also consulted with a Colorectal Surgeon to see what options are available to her in order to regain at least somewhat of a normal life back.
As you can imagine the medical bills keep coming and insurance only covers a fraction of the cost. Recently Bernie and the kids were in a terrible car accident which is requiring him to go to physical therapy. Thankfully, the kids are OK and Bernie will get better but to say it was scary is an understatement.
Colleen and her family have been strong through all the challenges they have faced and when you see Colleen, you are always greeted with a smile. Honestly, sometimes Colleen deals with too much pain so she doesn't have to miss family time and work.
So many people ask me about Colleen and how her and her family are doing and want to know what they can do to help. I thought this Go Fund Me would be a great way to help Colleen and her family relieve some of the stress of the medical bills she has seen over the past two years.
Thank you in advance for your donation and please feel free to share. With everything the Forss family is going through I hope this can ease the financial burden some and everyone can focus on getting better.
