Help pay for Maria's surgery
Donation protected
Hello everyone. I am raising money to help a very good friend of mine. Her name is Maria and she lives in Colombia. A week ago Maria felt pain and hardness in her left breast. After dealing with the pain and swelling she finally went to the doctor to get an MRI. The doctors found a muscular contracture which is causing a lot of pain and a ceroma which is creating fluid and needs to be removed. The fluid build up is creating more swelling which in turn is making it more painful.
Maria's surgery is scheduled for February 6th. Unfortunately she has no way to pay for this. Being in Colombia she has no health insurance and she just spent all of her savings towards her dads recent surgery. I am trying to raise enough money to pay for her medical expenses and have a little left over to cover her utilities while she recovers. She is under an incredible amount of stress as she has no idea how to pay for the surgery and what she'll live off of until she can work again.
To everyone that donates I thank you in advance. She is an amazingly sweet person and deserves this help. Any donation amount will help. Please, if you can or can't donate it doesn't cost anything to share this link. The more people who come across this, the more chance we have of raising the money we need to help.
*UPDATE
A quick update, I lowered the goal from $3700 to $1500. After selling some personal items and borrowing money from friends and family, Maria has acquired half of the money she needs. But sadly this is not enough. As of writing this we are still short of our goal and are now a week and a half away from her surgery.
To update you on her health, she is trying to stay busy finding ways to collect the rest of the money she needs for her medical expenses. As the days get closer she is becoming more stressed and upset because she doesn't know if she'll make it. Her doctor has given her pain medication which helps some but the swelling in her breast is still very uncomfortable. It has started sending referral pain into her arm which makes doing regular tasks very uncomfortable.
Unfortunately according to the user stats this page is not seeing the views it needs to be successful. So to those of you who make it to this page please I beg you to at least share this campaign on your social media. It is the least you can do. Also please donate what you can even if it's only $1 or $5, everything helps. To those who have donated (and to those who will donate) I thank you from the bottom of my heart. She is the sweetest person I know and I can't stand to see her go though this.
Help spread the word!
Update #2
I just wanted to post an update I just received today. Because this is not a life threatening surgery to remove the ceroma, the surgery must be paid in full before the procedure. If we do not raise the funds to help her she will have to postpone the procedure until she comes up with the money. As of now we have already raised $135. I plan on adding $500 myself. The remaining balance for the surgery is $1500, so I need to raise $865 in exactly one week. If 100 people were to only donate just $5 we could get very close to hitting our goal. Please share this as much as you can. And please donate what you can. I really need to find help for this wonderful person.
