Vanessa (A WIDOW/Single Mother) Needs Surgery
Donation protected
Hi Everyone.
This is for my Dear Friend, Vanessa Argo, who needs surgery to remove her remaining ovary, which has a cyst the size of golf ball.
Let me give you a brief summary about Vanessa.
~She was widowed at age 44 in November 2016.
~She has no insurance.
~She in a lot of pain and can't work, and needs this surgery.
~She has lost 20 pounds since the pain began – due to the pain and nausea.
Vanessa lost her husband in 2016 in a tragic car accident. Since then, she has suffered a variety ailments (mentally and physically) that have kept her from holding down regular employment and provide a sustainable income. Including: Sporadic Back Problems, Hospitalization for Kidney stones, Damage to the veins in her arm from a medication she received, just to name a few.
She currently cares for her daughter, who also suffers a variety of ailments (physical and mental), and Vanessa also cared for her mother until her passing in 2017.
Vanessa had medicaid but it was dropped and she was not able to get signed up with the marketplace in time.
Because the surgery is considered outpatient, the situation does not fall under the guidelines that would allow her to have the surgery without an upfront payment of close to $2500.00. Most financial help is geared for what is considered “Inpatient” procedures. Unless it becomes a life or death situation, (which we hope to avoid), she has to pay that amount before she can even get pre-opt blood-work.
She may qualify as a “charity” case, they will only accept her application AFTER she has the surgery. Yes-it's true, I was there. She has to pay, have the surgery and then “maybe” she can get some help. Which they plainly said if anything is approved it will go to the hospital for the remainder of the bill.
Please help Vanessa get her surgery as soon as possible and recover so she can work and continue to care for herself and her daughter.
Funds will be used for the required up-front payment and any remainder will be used for additional medical expenses.

Thank You!
