Save Olivia’s Kidney - an Endometriosis story

**MAJOR UPDATE**
I went to New York to meet with like the 9th “expert” and probably 50th doctor I’ve seen ever in my life for my condition, and he turned out to be super knowledgable AND takes insurance. I think he’s incredible and he wants to help me during a procedure scheduled for September 2024. I need to move in order to make sure it’s covered by insurance but I am so grateful for all the help I got to finally reach this amazing doctor who gave me hope I can have my life back. He pioneered robotics technology for this type of procedure and is one of the most experienced doctors in this specialty!! If you can help me with the costs of moving so I can be settled before this procedure, I would be extremely grateful!! Thank you!!
Also I finally got a fricking job right now but I still need help!! Just so you know I’m not a total mooch! Thank you!

Hi everyone,
Olivia Grace here. I am a standup comedian and television writer from Los Angeles.
Last year, I got caught up in a health crisis that culminated in the placement of a tube in my kidney. I am going to be okay but what I had going on was so rare it took years to find all the answers and a potential solution.
I’ll ultimately be okay. I have expert doctors now and know what I need to do. I’m lucky to be in a position where my illness is manageable with the right resources. If you help me today, it will pay off massively in the future.
**I am also writing and developing several narrative TV shows including this drama incase some high level executive sees this**

Thank you for all your help!
I will be using the money to—
- AS OF JULY 2024 -
- to secure housing in New York where my new doctor is and be settled by my surgery date of September 2024, and have a little bit of a financial cushion for my recovery.

Thank you.
