Help Matthew get his health back
Hi, my name is Sylvia, I am aiming to raise funds for my 26 year old nephew “MATTHEW CROWLEY”
When Matthew was 13 years old he was diagnosed with diabetes and has had to inject himself everyday since with insulin. This was a life changing thing which would be hard for anybody but especially a teenager! It soon became a way of life until about three and a half years ago when Matthew became poorly and was admitted to hospital, all the years of injecting has become to much for his stomach, he has since spent more time in hospital than at home being in severe pain and vomiting and loosing a lot of weight he was eventually diagnosed with gastroporesis. Which basically means the stomach doesn’t digest food and it rots which causes pain and sickness.
Matthew has met with a surgeon who is prepared to fit him with a gastro pacemaker, so Matthew can get his health back but the operation is not covered on the NHS, it is if you live in Scotland or Wales but not England.
The cost of the operation is £20.000
Matthew and his girlfriend have just got engaged and are hoping to start a new life together but with his health the way it is this is not possible.
Please help us raise the medical fees, it doesn’t matter how little you can give, every penny will help towards getting Matthew back to a normal life.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
