Donation protected
I am reaching out to you for your support in Adam Goodmuth’s battle against Ulcerative Colitis. At the age of 12 Adam was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, a debilitating inflammatory bowel disease or IBD that causes long lasting inflammation, severe pain and ulcers in the colon. Ulcerative Colitis (inflammatory bowel disease), resulting from an abnormal response by your body’s immune system. Ulcerative Colitis is a severe chronic disease of the large intestine. It includes some symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea with blood and mucus, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, low energy, fatigue, fevers, and inflammation.
Over the years, he has tried numerous treatments and medications, but the financial burden has been immense. As medical bills continue to pile up, the prospect of affording the care he needs becomes increasingly daunting.
This year has been full of indescribable stomach pains, Major fatigue, multiple hospitalizations, financial and mental hardship.
Frequent appointments with the doctor, bloodwork every other month, scheduling unpaid time off work to get the needed infusions required to stay well.
Adams recent flare up had gotten considerably worse and he ended up in the hospital once again getting IV steroids to control the inflammation as well as pain management. His hospital stay has been prolonged when it was discovered that he had contracted Salmonella due to his suppressed immune system. Now his body is battling to recover from both.
It’s now going on to two weeks without working or wages adding to an incredible burden to his finances.
Your support means more than words can express, and he is incredibly thankful for your compassion and encouragement during this challenging time.
Every donation will go straight to medical costs and insurance coverage and any other bills and expenses incurred.
