Help my dear friend get her cancer removed.

Hello! My name is Andi and I am posting a fundraiser for not only my friend but a human who truly makes the world a more beautiful place to live in. Regina recently discovered that she has melanoma, and if removed quickly she will be able to have the majority, if not all of it removed. Regina currently doesn't have insurance and the out-of-pocket price point for this operation is steep. The surgeon's cost is $5800 and is due upfront. No payment plans can be applied. The second cost for the surgery center is $4000, and while they do not normally take payment plans, they have agreed to try to allow one at this time. Unfortunately, even when a payment plan is in tact, the amount is just simply not feasible to obtain at this time. I would love support to help her reach her financial goal to get this operation that she needs.

I wish I could put into words the kind of person Regina is, but if you met her, you would understand. She is the easiest and most contagious person to be around. The first time I went to Regina's house, she didn't have a TV or wifi because she simply enjoyed music filling her space and focusing on whatever creative idea she encompassed. Regina spends all of her time caring for people and animals. And when I say all of her time; I truly mean ALL of her time. She participates in animal rescues and provides resources on how to enhance the environments we live in while also actively attempting to make it better herself. She strives to give a blissful life to all living creatures. She is the most gentle and loving spirit I have ever met and has a powerful passion and moral compass that truly impacts and causes change. Regina is the kind of friend that I have always been able to count on. She is healing and nurturing. Her passion for loving life and ensuring the people around her feel loved too, is unlike anyone I have met. I want to give Regina what she has given me- support, love, and the ability to heal. Any donation is so appreciated and is going towards a human that truly makes the world a better place.
