Raven's Medical Fund

My name is Raven DuFresne, and I am in desperate need of some financial help to get medical tests done for some major health issues I am experiencing. I have had pain in my right side that has been going on for over a year and continues to get worse. I have had an appendectomy and my gall bladder removed so they have ruled out those things out as causing my pain. My family and I have tried everything we know and exhausted our financial resources trying to get something done to no avail.  I am in excruciating pain most of the time and cannot sleep.  I have been to the Emergency Room on numerous occasions and because I do not have and cannot afford health insurance nor do I have the money to pay them, they will not do the expensive tests a GI Doctor said I need done to pinpoint and fix the problem. It will probably require surgery since he thinks it is either scar tissue built up from previous surgeries I have had and/or a blockage in my intestines according to my symptoms. Several ER doctors have not helped me, some of them being completely rude to me.  I have also tried to get Indigent care and TennCare/Medicaid but with all the new requirements, I do not qualify.  I have also applied for the Affordable Care Act and the cost per month is ridiculously high and I have not been able to work since all this has been going on.  I have become increasingly depressed over all of this. I have not been myself and I just want the problem fixed and to get my life back. I truly hate to go this route because I do not like asking for anything and this is my last resort, because I do not know what else to do.  Any donation to help with the costs of getting the procedures done that I need will be greatly appreciated.

 I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart,
