Help Rollie with Medical Bills and Treatment

Donation protected
I’m Megan, Rollie’s girlfriend of 7 years. I am reaching out to ask for financial help with Rollie’s Medical bills and future medical treatment. Rollie was hospitalized on January 29th with a severe gastrointestinal infection and sepsis. Although they have finally treated the infection that caused sepsis, he has now been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis or Crohns Disease. Both ulcerative colitis and Crohns disease are autoimmune diseases under the category of Irritable Bowel disease or IBD. They both have the same treatment but Crohns has worse symptoms, including severe pain and Inflamation in all areas of the stomach, not just the large intestine. It also causes ulcers in mouth and joint pain- all of which he has. He cannot be tested for this until this flare up is over as it gives false readings. The treatment will remain the same either way- high doses of sterioids and biologics/immunosuppressants. He will require infusions every 6 weeks for the rest of his life to control the disease. If the steroids and biologics do not work over the next 24-48 hours, they will be required to surgically remove most of the large intestine. Rollie has been out of work without pay for this this issue and although he does have insurance, coverage is very minimal. His treatment and the extended hospital stay is very expensive. Thank you for anything you are willing to help with. Even if it is just a prayer.
