Help 21yr old Chris-Ann to do a hip replacement

Donation protected

Good day, My name is Chris-Ann Ward and I have full blown Sickle Cell disease (SS). I am 21 years old. Sickle Cell Disease is an disease that is passed down through generations over the years. Sickle cell disease is very similar to cancer (cancer damages your white blood cells while sickle cell damages your red blood cells) and is called the sister disease. Sickle cell disease causes patients to feel extremely unbearable pains wherever there is bone in the body, it can also destroy our organs and joints in our body. In June 2020 I found out that sickle cell was destroying both of my hips ball and socket joint. My doctors has been trying to save my hips to prevent me from becoming paralyzed. Over the time of 1 1/2 years I've done 6 surgeries. In August 2020 I did a decompression surgery on both of my hips to help bring blood flow back to them since my hips were deteriorating alot faster than the doctors expected, however the surgery failed on my right hip and it kept on worsen until now where there is nothing left to do but an hip replacement. I am schedule to do an hip replacement in August 2021, however I am unable to purchase the pins and irons that will be placed into my hip. I am also unable to pay for the hip replacement surgery that needs to be done as urgently as possible before it is no longer an option. From January 2021 i have been unable to work because of my hips and all my savings has been used to pay hospital bills and medication monthly for me. I am asking who ever is reading this kindly if you could please please donate and help me to do this surgery so I can go on and try to live a normal life and continue to fight the battle of my illness because I am a strong fighter. Despite having sickle cell I have work hard in life to change the aspects of people who have my disease, I have worked twice as hard as everyone else and went to college and completed it with an 4.2 GPA and a phelebomty certification. I am a strong girl with just another set back in my life, so I am begging and pleading to you to just please please donate and help me fight this no matter how small of an donation it is I'll be very grateful, so if you can only donate 10 dollars or 5 dollars thank you in advance because I'm extremely grateful. I believe I will be able to walk again so I just want to say Thank you so much to everyone who will be making a donation and if you aren't able to donate anything but you are able to share my story so someone else can see it and maybe donate I want to say thanks to you too.
