Support for A friend with pancreatitis
Hello everyone. I have a very good friend, named Celeste who suffers from pancreatitis and she is in desperate need of assistance. As you may know, pancreatitis is a deadly illness that affects thousands of people each year.
Celeste is having trouble eating right, due to the illness and not being able to afford the correct medications (enzyme meds, pain relief meds) and not able to pay the ever high cost of medical bills (doctor visits, hospital visits, getting transportation to and from medical visits). She is also having trouble with food bills. Being on a much different diet then the average person, she can only eat certain foods due to the illness.
This is all affecting her mentally as well due to the stress. I am there as much as possible, driving often down the East coast to assist her. While you don’t have to take the drive, maybe you can take the time to donate a few dollars when you can! This would be greatly appreciated by Celeste.
Thank you all for your time! Please pass on this information to assist someone in need. Remember, Spring time is a time of Life and Celebration! Please help Celeste!
