My daughter, Nathalie, is 27 years old and has been battling chronic pancreatitis and severe pain since she was 23. After years of trying different treatments, her pancreas is now almost non functioning, and she needs a Total Pancreatictomy with islet autoimmune transplant (TPIAT) surgery. This major operation is scheduled for July 29th, and it’s our hope that it will give her a chance at a healthier, pain-free life.

The journey ahead is challenging. Nathalie will need to travel for the surgery, and her recovery will be lengthy and difficult. Her boyfriend, Brady, has been by her side throughout this journey, and I will be there as well to support her. The funds raised will help cover travel expenses, motels, lost income while she recovers, and medical supplies she’ll need after the operation. Every bit of support will help ease the financial burden and allow us to focus on her healing.

We are deeply grateful for any help you can offer. If you can't donate, please share this post. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference for Nathalie as she faces this life-changing surgery. Thank you for supporting our family during this difficult time.
