Hi everybody. If you could take some time out of your busy schedule to please, please, help my good friend, I would greatly appreciate it. You don't have to give money if you can't, but please pass this around, so more people can see it and help her. 

Here is Hope's story, as written by her. 




"Hello,

My name is Hope Adler, I'm currently only 18 years old and living on my own. 
My family doesn't support me anymore and I live 300 miles away from them. I need help due to not being able to work or go to school full time due to medical problems. 
I'm considered disabled and handicapped even though I do not look like it. I have something called an ileostomy. I was sick for about almost 10 years before I had my entire colon removed due to Ulcerative Colitis, I failed medication at one point receiving 21,000 dollars worth of meds a month. 
I'm "healthier" but at the same time my surgery which was on January 21, 2013 this year had some major serious complications due to the laprascopic tools misfiring during the surgery. One of the staple guns malfunctioned during it and caused a hole in my intestines. Which resulted in my bowel contents leaking into my abdomen and causing me to have the series of complications:
20+ litres of infection trapped in my abdomen that had to be drained through 3 drains at one point(two abdo drains, one chest tube)
Both lungs collasping, not eating for a total of three months, being in hospital for 60 days, nearly dying, septic shock, various blood infections, another surgery in March, 10 types of anti biotics, a port put in, rejection of blood transfusions, oral aversion, losing a total of 75 pounds, and my abdomenal wall muscle caving in causing me to not be able to lift anything anymore.
Plus probably even more things I'm forgetting.
On top of that my mental health has always been bad but has gotten worse. I have OCD, ADD, PTSD, Chronic depression, suicidal ideation and history of self harm.
As well as medical problems, I have not had an easy life in general. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault emotional abuse from my family bullying. As well as being a teen mom of a gorgeous two year old that I take care of myself with minimal help from her father.
I've tried killing myself numerous times because of all of this, and on top of that my family has cut off most of their ties to me because I didn't go to high school because of being sick. 
Now I'm in a city that I'm really new to I have not many friends here. My boyfriend whose in university and working cannot magically move in with me and make things better. 
I'm trying so hard for the last two months to find a job but due to being sick I cannot get hired. As well I still need two more surgeries and other medical problems taken care of. 
If you could help me get my minimal goal of 800 that would be fantastic. I need at least in total 2000 but I would take any amount at this point. 
Please anything would help.


Thank you for reading my story."
