Donate to Noah's Life-Saving Allergy Treatment

Hello!

My name is Noah. I grew up loving dairy...especially Kit Kats. Unfortunately, out of nowhere, when I turned 15 my body began rejecting dairy, leading to an official anaphylactic dairy allergy requiring use of an epi-pen (unfortunately not just lactose intolerance).

Since being diagnosed with a dairy allergy, I have been accidentally exposed to dairy products at home, at restaurants, and by recalled grocery store items, resulting in some very scary ER visits after not being able to breathe. It is very challenging living with fear of dairy exposure every time I eat.

I recently learned there is a treatment to cure my dairy allergy into remission so that one day I can eat dairy again. I just had my first visit! However, after adding up all of the costs required to continue the treatment, I realized I will struggle to do this on my own. I am very fortunate that my family is helping me with what they can, but the costs are still very high.

The treatment is located out-of-state, and I am required to fly back to visit for treatments 5 more times in 2025 alone. The treatment protocol for my dairy allergy will take 4 years. If you are willing and able to donate any amount, I would be so grateful for your support to help me continue this journey to not live in fear of being killed by cow juice.

So many food (and even medicine) products surprisingly contain dairy (milk, butter, lactose, whey, etc.), which means my diet is pretty limited and I am unable to safely eat at restaurants or at other people's homes due to cross-contamination. This is very difficult for me and my loved ones. This treatment is huge for me in terms of granting me more freedom to eat healthily, normally, and most importantly, safely.

I estimate that costs for travel expenses and co-pays for this year's 5 visits add up to $12,000. Unfortunately, I cannot donate this amount in plasma, but I am trying!

Thank you for reading, sharing, or contributing. I am so grateful for this opportunity and appreciate all of the support.

Best,

Noah
