Help Jaycie pay off medical bills

Well, I never thought I would be introducing myself to the world this way, but here it goes. My name is Jaycie Chatman. I am a 25-year-old college student, the youngest of three, and the strongest of them all. ( according to my family). My humor is my superpower, but loving others and living a full life is my purpose. Unfortunately, life has brought along a few other plans leading me to reproach and mourn the life that I thought I would have as a 25-year-old.

In 2015 I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis ( Ulcerative Colitis is where your colon becomes inflamed, and the body begins to attack itself with toxins). I would consistently experience flare-ups in the early years but I was unsure of the root cause. Once 2020 hit COVID was not the only stress I would experience. One week before Thanksgiving I had a flare-up I did not bounce back from. I lost so much weight that I was just skin and bones. I went from 135 to 99, and I was incapable of providing my body with the key nutrients to maintain a healthy life.

Fast forward to December 12, 2020, I had a colonoscopy, and the doctor determined that I had to be admitted into the hospital; for emergency surgery, where half of my colon was removed. This was just the beginning of a long road I would experience of lonely nights and days in the hospital since the family was not allowed to be present. I had to speak to family and friends through facetime, text, and videos. This took a toll on my mental and spiritual well-being alongside the physical.

After surgery, I would attend 4 to 5 routine visits to the hospital a week resulting in blood transfusions, and a lot of medical testing and procedures. ( But hey, I can say I have been to almost every floor in the hospital). The journey does not stop for me there; I have two more surgeries that I have to go through.

Now, this is where my tribe comes in. I currently do not work because of COVID and my immune system is highly compromised due to my medication. If you know me personally you know it takes a lot for me to ask for help, but I am asking humbly if you could support me with any medical expenses and or just regular living expenses I would be grateful. Through your contribution, I would be able to transition and prepare myself for the two more surgeries that will be approaching.

All contributions assist in diminishing the stress of having to jump right back into work and being able to slowly transition back to life after being at home for the past two years. In addition, being able to attend school again and study child development without having to worry about working excessive hours to pay off my medical debt.

I am humbly grateful for any blessings that come my way. Thank you in advance.
