Nats Stomach Pacemaker Funding

Donation protected

We have an amazing friend who has suffered with Gastroparesis for 6 years. She is 31 years old. She used to be a fitness instructor, ate what she wanted and was able to live the life of any able bodied person. Since being diagnosed with this illness it has completely stripped her of a normal life like eating, drinking even going for a walk. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastroparesis
She has been admitted to hospital a few times in the past couple of years but to no avail. There is unfortunately no cure for this disease.
We would love to be able to raise enough money for her to have a stomach Pacemaker fitted which would allow her to at least live life like any other 31 year old. The pacemaker would help control her stomach movements. Many patients with severe gastroparesis unfortunately do not achieve adequate relief from the previously outlined therapies. In such cases, consideration should be given to implantation of a gastric electrical stimulator. The only currently approved such device is manufactured under the trade name Enterra. The NHS won't fund this as the operation costs too much. If we could just raise enough money for this procedure it would truly be a dream to give someone there life back. Thanks for taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for your kind donations and support.
