Financial help for Becca aka Taco

Donation protected
Hi my name is Jessicia and I am asking for your help for my soul sister Becca aka Taco. Becca has had an extremely painful, debilitating, depressive, and anxiety filled 3 years. Over 3 years ago she started having jaw pain. LONG story short, countless doctors visits and ER visits later she was finally diagnosed with a rare and often "invisible " disease called trigeminal neuralgia. Trigeminal neuralgia is also known as the suicide disease. Some studies show up to 25% of patients commit suicide due to the excruciating pain and loneliness and hopelessness caused by this awful disease. Becca is a true warrior though and I am so glad she is still here with us over three years after the pain started. My soul sister is an amazing person and I just can't possibly imagine life without her. She has such a kind loving heart and has volunteered countless hours in her effort to rescue all types of critters. Mainly dogs and cats. She also has never had a problem dropping what she is doing to help her friends when they are sick or just need someone to listen or hug. She has done so much for me the past few years and I love her so much.

I am asking for financial assistance to help pay on her upcoming surgery, pay for MRIs, and pay on previous medical bills she has accumulated from 3 years of ER visits and doctors visits. I will update Monday or Tuesday the amount she is responsible due to pay for her upcoming surgery after our pre op appointment Monday. So far she has an outstanding balance over $4500. She does make payments monthly but I'm hoping with a little help she will be less stressed and can rest a little more comfortably. Ok. So the surgery she will have March 31st is called microvascular decompression surgery. What the doctors will do is go into her brain surgically and put "Teflon Pillows" in-between arteries and veins that have grown onto of her nerve causing chronic pain. Like I said, once we get the numbers for that surgery I will post them as well. Recovery time for this surgery is 4 to 6 weeks, which she will stay home with me and recover. I am posting photos of our journey so far and pictures of her "invisible" disease. Thank you in advance for your help. I know it will mean so much to me and her.

I think it would be so cute to wear her two favorite colors (rainbow and glitter) March 31st and plaster Facebook with pictures & well wishes to hopefully raise some awareness for trigeminal neuralgia.
