A porn star suffering with severe health issues is asking for support to help fund urgent surgery.
Sarah Shevon, 36, has had chronic ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease, since she was 18.
She has bravely opened up about her condition and says she has managed to keep it under control with medicine.
But it worsened after she fell ill last January with what she believes was coronavirus.
She now needs several operations.
The adult actress has now launched a GoFundMe page to raise $600,000 (around £440,000) to cover the medical costs.
So far, she has raised $2,650 (£1,950).
Since falling ill last year, she says her condition has been “flared-up like never before”.
The US star, who lives in Las Vegas and has been nominated for multiple AVN Awards – which cover the adult film industry – says she has had “several other lingering” symptoms.
They are “unlike anything I've experienced before”.
She wrote: “No medications are effective or efficient for me at this point.”
Her condition “is now far too advanced and is in the end-stage of the disease”, she added.

The film star, who has been nominated for multiple AVN Awards, wrote: “I am at a very high-risk of colon cancer and need my entire colon (lower intestine) and rectum removed as soon as possible.
“I will be getting a “J-pouch” surgery (redesigned colon/rectum using the upper intestine).”
She will likely need three surgical operations with the first scheduled by the end of the month, she wrote.

The symptoms she said she has been suffering from include diarrhoea, abdominal and back pain, nausea, heartburn, vomiting, headaches and shortness of breath.
Other symptoms she has also been suffering from dizziness, extreme fatigue, exhaustion and has had difficulty standing or short periods or walking short distances.
She told fans: “It has taken a lot for me to open-up about my health condition publicly and ask for financial help.
“I don’t like asking for any type of help in general, I am very independent and used to toughing out harder times.
“But now is a different and difficult time for me, I never felt so helpless and I really can use all the help I can get!”
