Support Whitney's Battle with Crohn's Disease

Donation protected
I'm never one to ask for handouts or beg people for money. However, at my young age of 32, I'm having major complications with an autoimmune disease I have called Crohn's. Just in the month of April, I have been hospitalized twice, and this last one ended up with me needing to have surgery. They will be removing a huge portion of my small intestine due to scar tissue built up from my Crohn's. I have missed almost the whole month of work, and after surgery, I will be missing even more work. I'm not sure exactly how long I'll have to be out, but at least another 3-4 weeks.

I am one that unfortunately lives payday to payday. I have two young daughters that I need to be able to support and keep a roof over their heads. I'm struggling to make ends meet this month, and with missing even more next month, I don't know how I'm going to make it. I hate so much asking for help of any kind, but I'm in desperate need of it for this emergency situation I was in no way expecting. If you could donate even the smallest amount to help keep us afloat while I heal and get better for my girls, I would so greatly appreciate it. If you are unable to, at least say a prayer for me that things will all be okay in the end. Thank you all for taking the time to read this post, and thank you all for those that are able to donate. You don't understand how much I appreciate you all.

Love, Whitney
