Emergency Surgery Needed -pls help
Donation protected
Let me start by saying how incredibly diffficult this is for me. Not only to be living through this but to reach out and ask for help. I have always been proud of my love of helping others in any way I can. But I've never been comfortable in asking people to help me when I'm down. Or to admit that I'm down in the first place. My family has been doing all they can to help me through this and my boyfriend and I have exhausted every option. He never stops trying to help make this better. But this has become too great an issue for us to battle alone.
I need surgery. Desperately. A couple years ago some metal clamps were placed on my tubes. Almost immediately after that procedure I was involved in a car accident. We were T-boned by a distracted driver and impacted on my side. Our car totaled and potentially having done damage to the clamps. Those clamps, or as my father now calls them "the demon clamps", have been the source of pain and discomfort for quite some time now. And that pain has been growing and escalating to dangerous levels over time.
At first it would come and go. I would have long periods where it wouldnt hurt much. Other times it woukd flare up more if I was more physically active. Different physical motions, such as climbing stairs, can bring on sudden severe sharp pains in my lower abdomen. The pain gets so bad it causes me to collapse and sometimes black out completely. These surges in pain have gotten so bad that it is putting me in more and more dangerous situations.
Recently I was found unconcious on my kitchen floor while I had been home alone. And just yesterday, as I drove to school, I had a sudden surge of pain so severe I blacked out behind the wheel and ran off the road. We have spent so very long trying to sort out any and every possible option. I need surgery as soon as possible to remove the clamps and fix the internal damage that they have done. Unfortunately, hard as we have tried, I dont have good insurance and they will not cover the procedure. I have to pay for it myself. I lack someone to cosign for me to get a line of medical credit and have surgery right away so I need to raise the money for the procedure myself.
Again this is beyond difficult for me to ask for help but I have no where else to turn. What if I hadnt survived yesterdays accident? What if instead of running off the road I hit another person? What if my children were in the car? What if I collapse at home alone again and get seriously injured? I need to be here for my children. For my family. I am a hardworking and dedicated mother. I'm in school, I'm working towards my Doctorate in Veterinary Science. I am trying to build a future for my family. And I can't do that with my health like this. Anything helps. Please, help me get back on my feet. Please share this and get the word out to anyone who can help.
My surgery will be with Dr. Smith at Crown Point Surgery Center. The costs are as follows. (There is a 30% discount for those who have to self pay & pre pay. That discount is already reflected in these costs)
~Physician Fee: $3,150
~Surgery Center Fees: $2,925
~Anesthesia Fee: $1,000
Total Surgery Cost: $7,075
*There is a percentage deducted from the funds to pay for the fundrasing campaign as well so the overall cost has been adjusted to make sure enough remains to pay for the procedure. If you know me personally and would prefer to give support to me directly I will add it to the total raised and we can avoid the fees. *
