Medical and Travel Expenses

My name is Anna Berman and I am 16 years old. I've endured several medical issues such as EOE, SUCLA2 (mitochondrial myopathy), Ehlers Danlos, and severe gastroparesis. I have several GI problems that have led to my whole GI system to not work as it should. I am currently being fed 100% on TPN through a central line. Back in 2014 was when all this started taking a turn for the worst and i've been in and out of the hospital ever since. I had to drop out of school my freshman year in high school because I spent so much time in the hospital. In June of this year I traveled to Cincinnati Children's hospital to meet with an Immunology Dr, Dr. Albonia, and a GI, Dr. Putnam . In October, I go to Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio to meet with Dr. Dilorenzo, to see if I am a candidate for a gastric pacemaker. This hospital is of the very few hospitals who are able to do this procedure. If I am a candidate I will hopefully slowly be able to get off of TPN and slowly start back formula through my GJ button.
I love the verse Matthew 6:33-34 because it really shows that through hardships you can gain a closer relationship with God and if you trust in Him, He will always provide.
Matthew 6:33-34
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
