Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I’m reaching out with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for help. My 11-year-old daughter was recently diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, a chronic and painful inflammatory bowel disease. Watching her endure this has been the hardest thing I’ve ever faced as a parent.  

For years, she suffered in silence. She experienced constant headaches, severe stomach pains, and extreme fatigue that left her weak and unable to enjoy her childhood like other kids her age. We visited countless doctors and specialists, but no one could figure out what was wrong. It wasn’t until recently that we finally got an answer that she has Ulcerative Colitis.  

Her diagnosis came as a shock—not just because she’s so young, but because this disease is uncommon in children her age. Doctors told us it’s unusual for someone so young to develop Ulcerative Colitis, which made it even harder to diagnose. While we’re relieved to finally have answers, the challenges ahead are daunting.  

My daughter’s condition is so severe that it requires constant care—frequent doctor visits, specialized medications, blood tests, colonoscopies, and even dietary adjustments. While I have health insurance, it covers only a fraction of these costs.

Despite the challenges, my daughter remains resilient. She loves gymnastics and dreams of becoming an Olympic gymnast someday. But her condition often leaves her too weak to attend school or enjoy the activities she loves. This illness has affected her both physically and mentally—she struggles with anxiety about her health and often feels isolated from her peers because she can’t keep up with them.  

As a single mom with no additional support, I’ve done everything I can to provide for her on my own. I’ve taken on multiple side jobs—anything I can do to supplement our income while we figure out a long-term plan for sustainability—but it’s still not enough to cover everything she needs. I’ve already exhausted my savings trying to keep up with her medical bills, and the financial strain is overwhelming.  

I know there are others out there facing more severe health issues, but this diagnosis has completely upended my daughters life. Watching your child suffer is heartbreaking, especially when you feel powerless to give them the care they need.  

That’s why I’m asking for $5,000. This amount would allow me to pay off her outstanding medical bills and cover the costs of her ongoing treatments for the foreseeable future. It would give me the breathing room I need to focus on managing her condition without constantly worrying about how I’ll pay for it all. Most importantly, this support will help ensure that I won’t need to ask for financial help again in the future as we work toward long-term sustainability.

Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to giving my daughter the care she deserves and a chance at a brighter future. Please consider donating or sharing our story with others who might be able to help.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you can provide. Even if you’re unable to offer financial assistance, your prayers and positive thoughts mean everything to us.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!

Thank you for understanding that asking for help can be difficult, but I will do whatever it takes to prioritize my daughter’s health. To maintain our anonymity, I’m using my Cash App $Thankyou2912 for donations. My photo is of a pink flower. Again, thank you so much!
