Support Megan on her road to recovery

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Taryn, and I'm fundraising for my sister in law, Megan Mcginty. In October of this year, Megan was experiencing severe stomach pain in connection with her ongoing Crohn's disease. A trip to the emergency room revealed that she had gone septic due to a perforation of the small intestine (caused by many years of suffering from Crohn's). Doctors performed an emergency Ileostomy to correct the perforation. The small intestine is now connected to a stoma or ostomy on the surface of her abdomen where waste will be collected in a bag allowing her intestines and colon to heal over time. So far, Megan has endured two emergency surgeries, and will need several more in the upcoming future. A hysterectomy is likely next. Due to the Family Medical Leave Act, she is forced to take UNPAID leave from work during her time in the hospital and while in recovery. She is in a lot pain and under a lot of stress, as she also balances being a single mother of two. Megan is always going above and beyond to help and love others, with her infectious positivity and giving nature. Now she needs OUR help. Anything helps. Megan has a long road ahead of her -having assistance with her hospital bills will greatly help in reducing her stress level. Thank you for your generosity, thoughts, and prayers for our sweet Megan.
