Hello everyone, my name is Victor and I am Rebekah's husband. Seven years ago, Rebekah was diagnosed with severe Gastroparesis, a digestive disorder that has forced Rebekah into the battle of her life and has left her relying on a feeding tube in addition to acquiring multiple long-term disabilities. This condition has required a series of intricate surgeries and ongoing medical interventions throughout the last several years of Rebekah's life. It's been a difficult road and she's been air lifted and septic too many times to count. In December 2023, Rebekah had a total Colectomy surgery and is now on Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) via PICC line, which is the feeding of nutritional products intravenously, while she recovers and regains her strength amid complications from the surgery.

TPN alone is not enough, though, and she also needs tube feeds to ensure that her gut doesn’t shut down as well as IV hydration because her body cannot maintain its core hydration needs on its own. This means that Rebekah requires specialized colostomy, TPN, PICC, IV hydration, feeding tube and other home health care products which need to be constantly replaced in order to provide proper nutrition, maintain hygiene and prevent infection. She also has ongoing medical consultations and home health visits which further contribute to the escalating costs. The current significant financial load associated with her care needs is beyond what our insurance will provide and what we are able to afford alone. I am currently working multiple jobs to help bridge the gap, but it’s not enough.

We are now humbly turning to you and praying for a hand to offset the overwhelming financial burden of medical expenses that we simply can no longer pay. We have created this GoFundMe campaign to raise the necessary funds to cover Rebekah's medical expenses and to provide her with the hospital, outpatient, and continuous home health care that she needs. Every donation, no matter the size, will ensure that Rebekah is able to pay for these things as well as any necessary future medical expenses.

We would like to thank all of you for your love and prayers for Rebekah. If you are unable to donate, please share and continue to pray for her.

Hola a todos, mi nombre es Victor y soy el esposo de Rebekah. Hace siete años, a Rebekah le diagnosticaron gastroparesis grave, una enfermedad digestiva que le ha provocado la batalla de su vida y la ha dejado dependiendo de una tubo de alimentación, además de contraer otras enfermedades. Esta condición ha requerido muchas cirugías complicadas y procedimientos médicos durante los años pasados. Ha sido un camino difícil y ella ha sido transportado en un helicóptero de emergencia y ha tenido septicemia demasiadas veces. Hace una semana, Rebekah tuvo una cirugía (de colectomía total) y ahora recibe nutrición parenteral total, que es la alimentación de nutrientes por las venas mientras se recupera y recupera sus fuerzas en medio de las complicaciones de la cirugía.Rebekah necesita colostomía especializada, nutrición parenteral total, y otros productos médicos que necesitan reemplazadas con frecuencia para mantener la higiene y prevenir infecciones, además de consultas médicas y chequeos que contribuyen aún más al aumento de los costos. La importante carga financiera actual asociada con sus necesidades de atención va más allá de lo que nuestro seguro proporcionará y de lo que podemos permitirnos solos.Ahora nos dirigimos humildemente a usted y oramos para que nos ayude a compensar la abrumadora carga financiera de los gastos médicos que simplemente ya no podemos pagar. Hemos creado esta campaña de GoFundMe para recaudar los fondos necesarios para cubrir los gastos médicos de Rebekah y brindarle la atención hospitalaria y domiciliaria continua que necesita. Cada donación, sin importar el tamaño, garantizará que Rebekah pueda pagar sus necesidades semanales de atención médica domiciliaria, facturas hospitalarias y otros gastos médicos necesarios en el futuro.Nos gustaría agradecerles a todos por su amor y oraciones por Rebekah. Si no puede donar, comparta y continúe orando por ella. Muchas gracias.
