Help Christine and Lee Merritt Through Medical Crisis
Donation protected
My name is Christine Merritt, and my husband is Lee Merritt. We've been married almost 10 years! During our marriage, we've experienced so many health scares, hospital stays (long hospital stays!!), and near-death experiences several times, which can only manage to shake your spirit to your bones.
Right now, I'm facing a pretty high-risk surgery. I had a hysterectomy last year, and since then, I've had nothing but complications. I found out I've had severe scarring from endometriosis I wasn't diagnosed with until I was 42 (I'm 43 now), so that has caused so much scarring that my intestines are pretty much frozen together. No doctor has wanted to operate because of the high-risk patient I am.
My husband has been so perfect during this time. I honestly have no idea how I would do this without him. He's been right by my side every day to nurse me back to health. We thought we were on our way there, but I guess someone had other plans because here we go again! He's had to leave his job to be there for me, so money has been an issue. Sadly, we lost our vehicle, so him getting back and forth to the hospital has been very difficult. Paying for everything like prescriptions or medical needs, etc., can all add up, and in today's world, money goes fast!
We've had help from family and friends, to which we greatly appreciate ❤️! If you are able to give anything, please do. Every little bit does in fact help. It will take one stressor off of us now while we're still figuring out what our future looks like. I'm greatly appreciative of anything you can do, share, post, spread the post, please. Thank you!
