Help Beth Piojda Live Pain-Free Again

Dear Family and Friends:

Thank you for taking the time to read this page to get to know Beth Piojda and her story.

Beth is a fun, loving, generous, caring person who needs a little support and love from us. I’m setting up the GoFundMe to help with medical cost and improve her quality of life. My dear wife was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, and had her colon removed due to cancerous polyps. During her hospital stay she developed sepsis, which led to a difficult recovery. Since this diagnosis Beth’s life has been radically changed. She has been in constant excruciating pain from effectively being burned to the point of maceration as one of many duties of the colon is breaking down stomach acid.

Most recently, doctors conducted a trial with a nerve stimulator that brought instant relief and the pain was gone for 8 consecutive days. Unfortunately, insurance denied the permanent device in January of 2024. Then denied again on the second level appeal.

In the interim, while waiting for the insurance company to approve this procedure to only be denied again, Beth has endured unbearable pain and discomfort. To improve her quality of life, she needs the nerve stimulator implant immediately. The implant will stop the leakage, which will allow her skin to heal and stop the constant pain. Time is of the essence.

This will allow Beth to work, play, travel and enjoy life without constant pain and spending hours a day in the tub as this is the only source of relief.

The total cost of the procedure is 45,000. Your generous donation will cover the cost of the nerve simulator implant.

If you can help Beth get through this most difficult time, please consider supporting her through this page. Any contributions, big or small, are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

In deep gratitude,

Joe Piojda
