Help Support Lisa’s Healing Journey with Crohn’s Disease

Hi friends, family, and compassionate strangers—

We’re reaching out with love and vulnerability on behalf of our dear friend Lisa, who is currently navigating an incredibly challenging chapter in her life due to Crohn’s disease, a chronic autoimmune condition that causes painful inflammation in the digestive tract.

The last week of April, Lisa’s health rapidly declined due to a serious obstruction in her ileum (the last part of her small intestine), which recently led to an ileocecectomy—a major surgery to remove a damaged portion of her intestines. And while the surgery went well, the healing process will be long, intense, and expensive.

Lisa is currently recovering in a hospital room where she can receive the close monitoring and nutritional care she needs. This extended hospital stay—combined with surgery, anesthesia, post-op medications, and ongoing follow-up care—has placed a financial burden that far exceeds what she or her family can manage alone.

Your generous support will go directly toward easing the financial burden of Lisa’s medical journey, including:

Out-of-pocket insurance costs, including her maximum deductible, which covers the base cost of Lisa’s ileocecectomy surgery

Hospital room fees

Post-operative care and essential medications

Travel and lodging for upcoming follow-up appointments and treatments

Nutritional support and specialized supplements to aid in healing and long-term gut health

Why We’re Asking for Help

Lisa is the kind of person who shows up for everyone else, now it’s our turn to show up for her. Whether you're able to donate, share this page, or simply send her a message of love, every bit helps.

We believe in Lisa’s strength—and we believe in the power of community to lift each other up when it matters most.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts,

❤️ Team Lisa
