Help Anna Heal Ulcerative Colitis Chrons Disease
Donation protected
Hello I'm Anna, I've suffered severely from Ulcerative Colitis/Chrons Disease since 2014. I used to be a dancer, full and vibrant of life. Since then, my life has become a blur of doctors, tests and procedures which are all costly. I have always paid for all my medical bills as I unfortunately have minimal family support being a former foster kid. I am currently stuck in a cycle of working so hard to afford my bills that I get no rest and sick again. But my ongoing medical bills are now amounting larger than what I can work my little butt off to afford.
I've previously worked on days I've secretly vomited in bins, toilets or anywhere I could find. I've worked through almost passing out, bleeding through my pants (bowel bleeding) and extreme pain. Now, I have my own business in which I work from bed. Most days I don't have enough energy to shower, but I must use any left over energy to work from my laptop. I receive no Government payments as there is a real gap in support for Chronic Diseases. Currently I am also suffering from Depression and Anxiety, and I would love to go see a Psychologist, but my other bills take priority. Inflammatory Bowel Disease Specialists can cost up to $400 for one appointment! A combination of medical, functional, natural and psychological help is needed to heal effectively. It's been over 1.5 years since I've been in remission and I would love nothing more than to feel healthy again. I hate asking for help. I never wanted to my disease to become anyone elses problem. But I've realised that hiding away and suffering in silence is destroying me, and stopping those who want to help from supporting me.
Any donation would go towards my many medical bills and allow me to rest further.
I'm even just grateful for you taking the time to read my story. Thankyou so much. I know so many people are struggling financially at the moment. There is no pressure to donate. I am appreciative of any level of support.
Thankyou for hearing me. Sending lots of love out into the universe for the many others struggling too xxx
