Lacey is a devoted wife and mother of three, with two minor children still at home. At just 43 years old, she has faced a relentless medical battle that has left her family in crisis. Over the past months, Lacey has endured countless ambulance rides and hospital visits for uncontrollable vomiting. Despite a vast array of tests, doctors remain puzzled, unable to pinpoint a cause. They discovered 13 ulcers, but none of the treatment regimens have brought relief. The only way Lacey can manage her symptoms is through IV fluids and medication; anything taken orally triggers severe vomiting. Once the IV is removed, she can keep water and clear fluids down for a day or two before the cycle starts again, leading to another emergency room visit—often by ambulance.

This ongoing struggle has made it impossible for Lacey to work. Her husband, who is disabled, is waiting for disability approval, leaving the family with no income. After 16 years in their home, they are now facing the threat of losing it, unable to pay the mortgage, bills, insurance, or even provide food for their children. The cost of repeated hospital visits, vehicle maintenance, and fuel for trips to the hospital has drained their resources. Lacey’s illness has not only taken a toll on her health but has also prevented her from participating in basic family activities, leading to extreme weakness and isolation.

Financial support from the community would help cover essential expenses—day-to-day bills, food, mortgage payments, and transportation costs. It would give Lacey’s family the chance to stay afloat and keep their home while she continues to fight for answers and recovery. The family cannot begin to express how the kindness of others is deeply appreciated beyond the ability to put into words.
