Nova Monroe's Medical Fund

On April 28th of this year, Nova Monroe Campbell was diagnosed with a rare allergic/immune condition called Eosinophillic Esophagitis or EoE. EoE is a chronic, allergic inflammatory disease of the esophagus (the tube connecting the mouth to the stomach), occurring when white blood cells, called eosinophils, build up in excess on the esophagus, ultimately leading to the closure of the esophagus. In the simplest form, regular digestion of normal foods causes extreme pain for Nova, which has lead to her refusal to eat many necessary foods at only a year old. At this point, Nova will be working with a Gastrointestinal Specialists, receiving vital endoscopic procedures every 8 weeks to monitor change in her eosinophil levels. Alongside the GI Specialist, we are also working with an Allergist/Immunologist to determine what allergens are causing the increased eosinophil levels, which is most often times like looking for a needle in a haystack. Children that are diagnosed with EoE are usually allergic to anywhere from 10-40 different allergens and are often unable to grow and prosper due to the lack of nutrients obtained through oral consumption. Since Nova started eating solid foods, she has been on a strict key 6-allergen elimination diet, and is still showing eosinophil build up. The vast majority of children her age go on a complete elimination diet and only obtain nutrients through a feeding tube. Our reasoning in creating this account is that our insurance unfortunately does not cover the specialists needed to be seen in order to continue to get Nova the proper care and medical attention that she needs. If you have any questions please feel free to message any of the family members. Thank you all for your prayers and generous donations. God bless!
