“Behind every chronic illness is just a person trying to find their way in the world. We want to find love and be loved and be happy just like you. We want to be successful and do something that matters. We’re just dealing with unwanted limitations in our hero’s journey.”

As I am writing this holding back tears knowing that it has come to this.  I am writing to ask for your kind help to help with these medical bills from my disease.   As well as to help my family as I start this journey at U of M. I was diagnosed in August of 2015 ,  I was  diagnosed as having advanced progressing autoimmune Liver Disease. The diagnosing doctors told me that my disease is highly rare, complex, dangerous and  incurable. My family and I are in the deepest despair.

The Liver Disease I was diagnosed with is called Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).  It’s a rare condition that causes the bile ducts to breakdown causing your liver to scar. Along with this disease it brings multiple side effects such as severe pain, fatigue, itching, malnutrition, nausea and quite a few more that I deal with on a daily basis.  The only cure is transplant which does not guarantee the disease will not reappear.  This year has been much harder than the years past and the symptoms have been more severe.  I hate that being 34 I can not do what other people my age are doing or be able to have the drive to work To provide for my family.  I do work full time but I barely make it through the day with the fatigue.   I have been in and out of the hospital many times and I’m not sure what the future holds for me but I do not want the future to hold financial problems for my fiancé and daughters.  Any help would be much appreciated as I can not carry the weight of this on my own anymore and I hate asking for help.I know there are many other go fund me accounts with much greater needs.  If you can help my family would be more than thankful.  Take care
