Fighting Endometriosis: Surgery Dec 16

This is not something I ever expected to create, and asking for help is not easy for me, but after exhausting all available options, I am turning to this community for support as I move forward with urgent medical care.

I have been dealing with years of severe pelvic pain, digestive issues, nerve-like pain, and symptoms that impact my daily life, work performance, and sleep. Which has all recently gotten much worse, causing an extreme decline in my quality of life. After recent evaluations, my specialist strongly believes I have endometriosis in multiple areas of my body, along with a secondary condition that exacerbates pain and inflammation. Due to the rapid progression of symptoms, I have been advised to proceed with immediate surgical intervention.

My surgery is scheduled for December 16th, and $12,900 must be paid upfront by my pre-op appointment on December 15th. I have also included additional funds in the campaign goal to cover potential hospital stay expenses, travel, post-operative care, pain management, and any unexpected medical costs. My total fundraising goal is $13,500.

Although a portion of the procedure may be reimbursed by insurance after surgery, I am required to cover the full cost upfront to avoid delay. I am working through the proper insurance channels and pursuing a gap exemption, but given the short timeframe, I do not have a way to secure these funds in time on my own.

❤️ Your support will help me:

• Move forward with this time-sensitive surgery

• Finally get answers and hopefully long-term relief

• Prevent further damage caused by untreated endometriosis

• Manage immediate medical, travel, and recovery expenses until insurance reimbursement processes

I have continued working and pushing through despite pain and fatigue, but at this point, I need help to take the next step toward healing.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, makes a meaningful difference. Even if you cannot donate, simply sharing this privately or keeping me in your thoughts means more than I can express.

Thank you for your kindness and support during this extremely difficult moment in my life.
