Let's Help Lisa with Medical Bills

Donation protected
I am Stephanie, a lifelong friend of Lisa's.   We have known each other since we were 4 and 5 years old.   Lisa is a wonderful, giving person, and has always been there for me.  She helped me with a fundraiser when my husband was seriously ill.  Now because of Covid we can't have a fundraiser for her.  So I thought we could try a GoFundMe Account.

Lisa needs our help.   She has been dealing with serious illnesses for over a year.    She was operated on in Kentucky and was diagnosed with Crohn's / Ulcerated Colitis and ended up with a colostomy bag.  She was told by the doctors in Kentucky that her colon could be reconnected within 4 to 6 months.

She moved back to New Jersey last March at the beginning of the Covid lockdown to be with her family and friends where she feels she belongs.   

After 15 months of infusions, two different kinds of drugs, several trips to the ER, and stays at the hospital, she still wasn't getting any better.  Then came the tests...MRI's, CT Scans, and Ultrasounds. From those her doctors realized  that her colon was wasn't getting any better and was still diseased.   In addition the tests showed a cyst on her pancreas, which is causing a great deal of pain.   She is currently in the hospital where they removed her colon completely, and she now she an illeostomy bag, which will be permanent.  She will need another operation down the road for the cyst on her pancreas because the doctor says her body is too weak and can't handle it right now. 

With all the doctors, hospital stays, and treatments from both  Kentucky and New Jersey, her bills are adding up.  She is a single woman now and needs our help.
With your assistance, I would like to help her with her all these medical expenses.  Please keep Lisa in your thoughts and prayers and consider helping her financially in whatever amount you can.  We sincerely appreciate your kindness and generosity.
