Lindsay's Crohn's Disease Battle
Donation protected
I've been fighting Crohn's Disease for 17yrs now. For the past year and a half I have battled the worst flare-up since I was diagnosed. Eight hospitalizations total. Surgery is the next step if I cannot get my symptoms under control. I can only work 4-6 hours a week and have been turned down by Disability and SSI. While my insurance covers most of my medical bills, the related expenses coupled with my inability to work have put a strain on finances. This would help eliminate the debt that has accumulated due to my illness.
