Fuelling the Future: Supporting Artificial Nutrition

A Beacon of Hope for the Artificial Nutrition Community

Imagine a world where you can't enjoy a simple meal with friends or family. Imagine the constant worry about tube care, nutrition, and the emotional toll of living with artificial nutrition. For many, this is a daily reality.

Darren has been on this journey for over 6 years, after finally being diagnosed in 2000 with Intestinal Failure after 15 years of multiple surgeries and procedures. Despite the challenges, Darren has shown incredible strength and resilience. Inspired by their own experiences, Darren is committed to creating a supportive community for others facing similar challenges.

Darren and his team are launching a GoFundMe campaign to help sustain and grow a community hub for individuals and families living with artificial nutrition. With your support, we can:

Keep the lights on: Fund essential expenses like website hosting, app development, and meeting room rentals.

Expand our reach: Promote our community through marketing and outreach efforts.

Offer support services: Provide educational resources, emotional support, and practical advice to members.

Advocate for change: Work towards improving healthcare policies and support services for individuals on artificial nutrition.

By donating, you're not just supporting Darren; you're investing in a brighter future for countless individuals who rely on artificial nutrition. Your generosity will help create a community where people feel connected, understood, and empowered.

Let's light the way for a more supportive and inclusive world for those living with artificial nutrition. Together, we can make a difference.

"The funds raised will be dedicated to building an app for The Hunger Games: The Battle of Nutrition, a community-focused platform designed for individuals on artificial nutrition. The app will offer tools like The Battle Plan journal, a mental health resource that helps users track their well-being, set personal goals, and reflect on their experiences. It will also feature a health passport, tailored specifically for those on artificial nutrition, providing quick access to essential health information to empower users and aid in their care.

Being on artificial nutrition can come with significant mental health challenges, including feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression. This app will provide vital support to help users feel connected and understood, offering resources for mental health alongside practical guidance.

Funds will also support group sessions, where members can find camaraderie and encouragement, and cover the ongoing costs of maintaining our website and social media platforms. With your support, we can bring essential tools to those who need them most, helping our community build resilience and thrive."
