PSC diagnosis for the Porter Family

As many of you know in the middle of planning our move to Texas my husband fell ill completely out of the blue and was hospitalized for almost 2 weeks. 2 weeks of no income because I had closed my studio in preparation to move as well.

Within that time he endured countless surgeries and procedures trying to get a solid diagnosis. He then ended up getting a severe infection from one of the surgeries and that caused his health to decide rapidly so they were unable to release him in a timely manner.

Unfortunately PSC is a rare, life long autoimmune disease and considered terminal. Anyone who knows my husband knows he’s both strong and capable so this came as a complete shock to us all. While we will have many more challenges with this disease in the years ahead we are starting to see the medical bills roll in and cannot possibly afford them on our own. (Especially because I’m not currently working) Luckily he had a brand new job with insurance and they agreed to help cover the costs but even copays from a 2 week long hospital stay and multiple surgeries are incredibly high.

He’s got another surgery coming up next week as well and we could sure use some love, prayers and support.

What some of you don’t know is we had to leave him behind to get his treatment plan in order. I haven’t seen my husband in a over a month! My kids miss their daddy too!

It’s hard for us to ask for help, especially financial as we are usually the first people to help others in need but we are in a tough spot right now. If you can donate even $5 we’d appreciate it, if you can’t please share! TIA
