Poop jokes aren't my favorite, "Butt" they're are a solid #2.
I have been struggling WAY too now long with this shitty disease called Ulcerative Colitis. It's been 14 years since my first Ostomy. I was diagnosed when I was seventeen, An Ostomy at eighteen & reversed at nineteen. Not to mention the hospitalizations and other procedures & surgeries in between.
More than a decade later I'm making a decision for my health, a better lifestyle & most importantly myself. September 6th I will be going into surgery to have an Ostomy permanently. I'm ready and excited. I'm not asking for much just support from all my loved ones. I'm requesting $200.00 for Ostomy supplies.
This shit ain't easy, sometimes shit just happens. I will be using the money to buy Ostomy bag covers to feel better about my self. I will be supporting small business on Etsy. If you know me at all you know this is really important to me, & I never want to look like shit, but mostly importantly I don't want to feel like shit.
Please do not feel obligated to donate, I understand everyone goes though different shit, I just want to spead awareness. If you can not donate at this time, help me another way.
Grab Some Art Supplies and make me hand written card.
Paper, Canvas, pens, pencils, color pencils, markers, paint, crayons, whatever you have laying around the house.
Get creative and make me something Heart felt, a shitty joke, your favorite photo. anything that you can think I would like. I just want to feel all the love & support from each and everyone one of you.
If you can donate or just make me a card, I will appreciate both.
Thank you Friends & Family, Thank you.

** Fun Fact **
They did not have the technology they do now for ostomy supplies in 2014. Ostomy Bags were opaque, nude, or clear. This colorful bag in this photo was made entirely with duct tape, I hand covered 'stuck' 1000's of bags for several years, took up a lot of time. Thankfully the technology they have now could allow me to save so much time.
