Hello, family & friends, why I'm raising funds. On November 8th, 2023 in the morning. I ended up at Providence St. John's Emergency Room with extreme abdominal pain. I was admitted and later that evening taken into an 8 hour surgery. My surgeon told my husband it was the worst abcesse she had seen in years. I had a perforated colon and a colostomy was put in place. I had to have a blood transfusion and i am still on daily IV antibiotics. I have been back to the ER 3 more times. The last on ER visir was 11/17/2023, my home health PT nurse, noticed my heart rate was high and both feet and legs are swollen. She suggested I go back to the ER, to rule out a blood clot. I followed orders and I do have a right clot that can be repaired with medication. I was discharged with a prescription of Eliquis. Unfortunately, my insurance does not cover this medication. This is so foreign for me to ask for help, but here i am asking. I need help. Most of you know I have not worked since the pandemic. I take care of parent's and in-laws. I am hoping that by the end of January 2024 God willing I'll be about 60% of myself again. I know this is so close to the holidays, anything will be of assistance.

Sincerely,

Aremi
