The Journey to Nevaeh's Healing

Donation protected
Hey everyone. I'm JaCynthia. My daughter Nevaeh has been diagnosed with Chron's disease and Ulcerative Colitis. The doctors say there is no cure but it is treatable. We have been on this journey for a little over a year now. Nevaeh had a endoscopy and colonoscopy at 13 years old. She just had one a few weeks ago at the age of 14yrs old. No teenager should have to experience this at this age. She is a homebound student and with this disease she graduated from 8th grade to high school. I'm so proud of her. This disease not only attacks and inflames the gastrointestinal. Sometimes, the inflammation moves to her joints. This limits her ability to lift her arms to simple tasks. She goes to a rheumatologist as well. MRIs, Ultrasounds, blood work, tests, etc. She is doing the best she can. At times my daughter has to take close to 12 medications daily. Her current doctors haven't given me a direct answer as to why she has been in crisis for over two months. They're just trying more medicines to "see" if it works. I've decided to change her care to Richmond, Va. I will never stop fighting and advocating for my daughter. We're going to need transportation, gas, and lodging to stay in Richmond for a few days. This disease has her diet restricted. Stress keeps this disease active. I'm finding it financially difficult maintain her special diet. I won't be able to work and take care of my daughter at the same time. I'm asking for your financial support as we go through this journey to healing together. I thank everyone for supporting and helping us along the way. Keep us lifted.
