Help Ashley Pay Her Medical Bills

Hello I’m Ashley Richardi and I’m a 29-year-old technical writer and aspiring artist. Over the past week I became sick, so much so that I brought myself to the ER. From the ER I was admitted to Morton Hospital for tachycardia and possible c-diff. I was admitted on Friday, August 19th, and remained in the hospital until Sunday, August 21st. It was found that I have colitis, and would be getting a colonoscopy to confirm any further findings in the week to come. The 2-night stay was hard. I could barely sleep and got a pounding headache. I was nauseous, and couldn’t eat. They had me hooked up to constant fluids, and antibiotics via IV. (And let me tell you, those machines don’t let you sleep..)



However, on Sunday I was discharged feeling decent. Headaches, fever and abdominal pain, among other things were all gone and I was even well enough to drive myself home. That night I slept very well, but upon waking up all my symptoms have returned, and I will likely be going back to the hospital tonight or tomorrow. 

I do have insurance, and I do have a job but both only can afford so much and staying at the hospital is not going to be cheap (not to mention any additional needs I may have). I hate to ask for help, but I really need it. Even if you only have $1 to spare, everything helps. If you can’t donate, please share it will be very much appreciated. 

To anyone that can donate, thank you so much. You have no idea how hard it is to ask for help, but my health comes first and I can’t worry about money right now. 

Love you all. ❤️
