Amy's Endometriosis Surgery
Donation protected
Thank you for taking a moment to read this. At first I didn't think I should ask for help because there are others who are suffering worse than me. But just because your problem may seem small to others doesn't mean it's less important.
I'm looking for some help to pay for a much needed surgery. Any amount will help!!!!
Heres a little background about my story:
Im currently living with chronic pain caused by Endometriosis. It's affecting my daily life, my work, my relationship and my overall happiness. I have decided to opt for a surgery which will help ease my pain and in turn also help save my fertility. Endometriosis is an over production of cells that cause scarring on a woman's reproductive system. It can also spread to other organs and cause pain in those regions. It runs rampant and takes over cells much like cancer does. It can cause infertility and some people have to remove all or part of their ovaries. Currently I have masses on both my ovaries that have almost doubled in size since September. There are probably other masses but there's no way to know until during surgery.
I work as a hair stylist for a living and stand all day doing what I love. It's hard on the body but chronic pain makes it harder. I am honestly at my wits end and don't feel like myself anymore.
I'm in a difficult spot as far as insurance is concerned. I purchase my own insurance at quite a high premium with very minimal coverage. I make too much for governmental support but apparently not enough to stay out of debt due to medical bills.
Basically I'm dealing with a large deductible and will also be requested to pay 40% of the surgery. This will amount to a minimum of $12,000.
I have decided to schedule the surgery and will have it on April 20th this year. It's a month from now. This is the only thing I could think of to help me. I've always believed in the kindness of others and will continue to give when I have the opportunity.
I don't ask for this money for recovery. It is strictly to pay for the surgery that to me is extortionately priced and unfair.
Thank you for reading and if you decide to share with me please know that I am eternally grateful.
