Donation protected
*Update*: Jessica is currently in Deaconess Hospital awaiting surgery! They attempted to put a nerve block in and did not like what they seen, so they decided she needs immediate surgery. Jessica has not been able to work for the last 4 months and this surgery is a major one , so she will be off at minimum another 4 months recovering. Any and all donations are appreciated. Also please share, so we can get this out there!!!

My name is Kalia I am setting up this fundraiser to help my Cousin and his family pay for medical expenses and monthly bills due to his wife Jessica being unable to work currently. She became severely ill about 2 years ago and has been hospitalized 17 times since then. She has chronic pancreatitis which has caused constant pain and vomitting, dramatic weight loss, confusion, even sepsis to the point of being comatosed. For 2 yrs Doctors were unable to determine the cause of her illness. She recently found out that this has all been the result of a birth defect in her bile duct of her pancreas. She will be facing a major surgery in the the near future to correct this defect and will be unable to work for at least 2 months after this surgery. Justin and Jessica have two kids at home to support. Justin is the only one able to work at this time and they are struggling to get by. Any donation is appreciated. If you are not able to make a donation we ask that you at least share this fundraiser. Thank you for reading, sharing and donating.
