Support Lizzy's Path to Health and Recovery

Dear friends, family, and community,

Our daughter Lizzy has been battling persistent gastrointestinal issues for most of her life, experiencing chronic abdominal pain and food sensitivities. In 2022, she began eliminating foods from her diet to manage the pain. But last year, our family faced an unimaginable tragedy when Lizzy's younger sister, Delaney, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 16. This loss has profoundly impacted Lizzy, adding layers of grief and emotional pain to her already fragile health.

In response to her grief, Lizzy's eating became more restricted, and over time, this led to the development of a serious eating disorder. Over the past few months, I’ve been searching tirelessly for help, and in August 2024, God connected us with a health coach specializing in eating disorders. However, as Lizzy's food intake increased through re-introduction, she has become at high risk for refeeding syndrome—a life-threatening condition if not addressed immediately.

After consulting with her medical team, we’ve been told that the best option for Lizzy is residential treatment. This program offers comprehensive care not only for her eating disorder but also for her underlying gastrointestinal issues and mental health concerns.

The reality of residential treatment is daunting, both emotionally and financially. Insurance will cover only a fraction of the costs, leaving us with significant out-of-pocket expenses. Our family has already faced financial strain after Delaney’s passing, with funeral expenses, missed work, and medical bills. As a mother who has already lost one child, I am terrified of losing another.

Lizzy’s estimated stay at the treatment center is 2-4 months. We need your support to give her the chance to heal and regain her health. We don’t want money to be the barrier that prevents her from getting the care she so desperately needs.

Please consider contributing, sharing this campaign, and keeping Lizzy in your prayers. Any donation, no matter the size, will bring us closer to getting Lizzy the help she needs.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, support, and generosity during this incredibly difficult time.

With gratitude,

The Kremer Family

Tom, Leslie, Lizzy, Nora, and Sierra
