Hi, my name is Katie. I’m currently battling a birth defect and my journey is taking me to Cleavland Ohio to get my intestines rearranged and a possible stomach transplant. I’m currently on TPN and getting fed through my chest tunnel picc line. Asking for help puts me in a very vulnerable situation but asking for help is my only option they are requesting a 6 week stay after surgery for recovery and demanding a family member there for my needs my husband has been cleared to take off work but with no pay, we have a list of bills heading our way and I fear of drowning while struggling I’ve put my family through so much and have been struggling to live for the past year but nothing is worse then the thought of making my family struggle as well. With an open heart and alittle fear I ask for help. With all my heart I just want to express my gratitude if your one of the people that I send this too for being a person I feel comfortable enough to ask. Thankyou for being apart of my journey
