Hi everyone, I wanted to share a quick update and thank you all again for the love and support you have shown me.

I have been going through a difficult Crohn's flare-up lately, and it has taken a real toll on my body. Eating and digesting have been a daily struggle, and I have started to lose weight again. It has been scary at times, but I am doing everything I can to move toward healing.

Recently, I joined a specialized program with IBD experts through Crohn's and Colitis Lifestyle. It is a big step forward, and I am hopeful that this will finally give me my life back. The program is five thousand dollars, and while it is already a big investment, there are still additional tests I need such as the GI MAP to get to the root causes of my disease and work toward deep and lasting remission.

These tests are expensive, and I am worried about how I am going to cover the extra costs. I truly believe they are an important part of finally healing after so many years of struggling. Any support, whether it is sharing my page, donating, or sending a prayer, means more to me than I can say.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being with me on this journey.
