Ysabella is one of the sweetest little girls and we would venture to guess that anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting her would attest to this. We are turning to our family, friends and community for help because we have exhausted our personal finances, turned over every rock from social services and fought every fight we could with insurance companies to alleviate our need. As many of you know Ysabella has Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome, Gastroparesis and Hemorrhagic Colitis. Due to her high medical costs in the previous year and our insurances unwillingness to pay for all of her medical care, we have found ourselves in 10's of thousands of dollars in medical debt. Being that we are working hard to pay that debt and maintain our house and home we are unable to come up with the $5,200 insurance deductible necessary for our insurance company to once again pay any of Ysabella's medical costs. This includes her prescription only Elemental Formula, which is her only form of nutrition, the medicine she takes 4 times a day to make her stomach work properly, and her reflux medications. This unfortunately isn't something that can be paid throughout the course of the year, but is needed next month as her formula will cost about $4,000 and her medications will cost an additional $500 just for the month of February.

As many of you know Ysabella's condition when being properly treated is still life threatening and without the ability to see her doctors, keep her on her medication and feed her the consequences will be dire.  We appreciate you taking the time to watch the video of the times Ysabella has spent in the hospital so you can see the transformation in her when she has the appropriate medical care. If you are unable to donate monetarily we understand and still value and appreciate all of your support. We ask that you take a minute to share our video so that others can help.
