Help Overcome Medical Challenges and Regain Health

Donation protected
As many of you may remember I set up a GoFundMe about two years ago. And even doing that took “a lot”, because I struggle asking for help or for things in general. Thankfully with the support and push of one of my best friends one was made. I was overwhelmed with so much love and generosity.

But I’m at a stage now where I understand (or am at least learning to accept) it’s okay to ask for help, especially in times like these last 4 years have been.

If im being honest, the last 2+ years specifically though, have been a real struggle. My surgery to get my ostomy bag removed back in 2023, had gone really wrong, which caused more problems than solutions. Putting me in ICU for a week and leaving me with an open wound that wouldnt close due to fistulas that wouldnt heal. So to say the least, It's been a big struggle to gain any of my weight back. Which because of that I haven’t been able to put any muscle mass on. In total I've ended up staying in the hospital for 4-5 months over the last 2 years ( and in the last 4 years I’ve spent close to 10 months in hospital). Also Shout out the nursing staff here by the way, they have really become like a family to me.

Currently my setup consists of myself having a pic line in so I can receive iv fluids for hydration and hopefully only temporarily, TPN (iv nutrition). On top of all of that; having 3-5 appointments a month, tons of medical supplies that are needed, more than a doezen medications, plus just day to day needs. The finances have been a real struggle. I won’t even begin to go into the mental struggles it’s been. Im genuinely dreaming of the day when I can work, play soccer and just feel somewhat "normal" again.

Truly anything will go such a long way on helping me recover!
Prayers, sharing the GoFundMe, and of course any financial support big or small, will all go to helping me being able to focus of recovering. So thank you in advance! ❤️
