Hi, my name is Michelle, and I’m raising funds for my niece, Chelsea, who is currently facing a serious and frightening medical situation. Chelsea has been dealing with ongoing health issues that stem from complications she had at birth. Over the past eight weeks, her condition has worsened to the point where she cannot keep food or even water down. She has been in and out of the hospital repeatedly, undergoing test after test, yet doctors have been unable to pinpoint exactly where or why there is a blockage. At this point, her medical team has no choice but to move forward with exploratory surgery, hoping they can locate the blockage and correct the issue so she can finally begin to heal.

While this surgery is necessary, it comes with uncertainty, recovery time, and mounting medical expenses. Because of her condition, Chelsea has been unable to work, and the financial strain has become overwhelming. She is doing everything she can to stay afloat, but she is now facing the very real fear of losing her rental home, on top of medical bills and everyday living expenses.

Anyone who knows Chelsea knows her as a caring and selfless person — especially when it comes to helping rescue dogs, opening her heart and home to animals in need. Now, she is the one who needs support. Any amount helps more than you know. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page means just as much. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting Chelsea during this incredibly difficult time. With gratitude, Michelle
