Justin is struggling with Crohn’s disease ❤️
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Cherie, I am Justin’s sister, I am starting this page to try and raise funds for Justin. He is currently hospitalized for an unknown length of time once he goes home he will not be able to work. Once released he is to gain weight and strength until he can have surgery. He will be receiving all of his nutrition through a pic line. His body is currently too weak to undergo surgery. Once he has surgery he will be in the icu up to 2 weeks and have a long road to recovery.
We are hopeful that once Justin recovers from surgery he will be able to live a long fulfilling life.
Justin’s Crohn’s disease journey began when he was just 18 years old. He was overweight at over 400 lbs and 6’6”. For the past 15 years he has been able to avoid surgery but the disease unfortunately progressed too far to continue to avoid surgery. He is severely malnourished, weighing only 145lbs which is why he is unable to have surgery now.
Please consider a donation and please share.
