Hello, my name is Bonnie. I have been living a nightmare for over 3 years. I was diagnosed with ulcerative pan colitis. I have failed all steroids and biologics. I’ve been in and out of the hospital. I’m sure all my friends know nonstop dehydration, blood transfusions, and infections. I’m exhausted. By the way, we were at our last option, and that was to remove my entire large intestine, my rectum, and sew up my anus. I am left with a permanent ileostomy.

I had surgery on July 1. I haven’t been able to come home because I am too weak, and I am now in a rehabilitation center. The reason I am asking for help is because I am so behind on everything possible due to all the medical procedures, bills, prescriptions, and supplies. I really appreciate any help anybody could give. I know times are hard. I just need to be able to keep up. Thank you.
