Help a Nurse Cover Breast Reduction Surgery
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Sarah and I am a 21-year old full-time ICU nurse. I have struggled with back pain due to having larger breasts for as long as I can remember, and my recent career change has only increased the strain put on my body. Being a nurse is an incredibly physically demanding job, especially in the ICU where most of our patients require constant hands-on care (bathing, moving patients around from bed to bed, etc.) This has caused the already existing back pain from my breasts to increase so much that I am taking pain medications frequently. I have made prior attempts to apply for breast reduction surgery, submitted all necessary paperwork, attended multiple consultations, yet I continue to be denied by my insurance. As a young person only in my 20s, I fear that my back pain will only worsen with my line of work. The total cost of the surgery is $9500 and that includes the procure, OR cost/anesthesia cost, and all other expenses directly related to the surgery. My surgery is set to take place May 24th of 2022 and all payments are due by April 26th.
I'm hoping that the generosity of friends, family, acquaintances, co-workers and kindhearted strangers helps make this possible. Any donation will help significantly and will go a long way. Thank you so so much in advance.
