Help Ahmya Battle Crohn's Disease

Join Us in Supporting Ahmya and Her Family.

Ahmya is a courageous young woman who has been recently diagnosed with Crohn's disease, a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the digestive tract. This disease has brought immense physical pain and emotional strain to Ahmya and her family, making everyday life a constant struggle. Now currently at Children’s Hospital in Dallas Texas receiving treatment and learning how to continue a treatment plan at home.

**The Reality of Living with Crohn's Disease**

Crohn's disease is more than just a digestive issue; it is a life-altering condition that causes:

-**Intense Abdominal Pain**: Sharp, cramping pain that can be severe and persistent.

- **Chronic Diarrhea**: Frequent, urgent bowel movements that can lead to dehydration and weakness.

- **Extreme Fatigue**: Constant tiredness and lack of energy due to the body's inability to absorb nutrients properly.

- **Weight Loss and Malnutrition**: Difficulty maintaining a healthy weight and getting essential nutrients.

- **Complications**: Including bowel obstructions, fistulas, and an increased risk of colorectal cancer.

These symptoms not only cause physical discomfort but also impact Ahmya's ability to lead a normal life, affecting her education, social interactions, and overall well-being.

**Why We Need Your Help**

The cost of managing Crohn's disease is overwhelming. Ahmya requires continuous medical care, including doctor visits, hospital stays, medications, and a specialized diet. These expenses are not fully covered by insurance, placing a significant financial burden on her family.

Crohn's disease cannot be cured. Medications such as steroids and immunosuppressants are used to slow the progression of disease. If these aren't effective, a patient may require surgery. Additionally, patients with Crohn's disease may need to receive regular screening for colorectal cancer due to increased risk.

Ahmya, and your entire family. Crohn's disease can be debilitating, and it's heartbreaking to see her going through this pain and missing out on school and family time.
