Help Mary Get to New York for Life-Changing Medical Treatment

Hi, my name is Mary, and after months of debilitating symptoms, countless doctor visits, and being told “everything looks normal,” I finally have an answer — and a path forward. I’ve been diagnosed with a rare condition called Jugular Venous Compression, which is restricting blood flow out of my brain and causing a cascade of intense neurological, vascular, and head/neck symptoms.

After advocating for myself, studying my scans for hours, and reaching out to some of the top specialists in the country, I had a consultation with Dr. Constantino, a leading neurosurgeon in New York. He confirmed that I do, in fact, have visible anatomical compression, and now I must travel to New York in the coming weeks for a critical invasive procedure to better understand the severity and plan possible surgery.

This procedure is not optional — it’s necessary to decide whether I’ll need surgery to restore proper blood flow and prevent further complications. Unfortunately, medical expenses, travel, housing, and unpaid time off are piling up fast. Insurance doesn’t come close to covering everything, and the out-of-pocket costs are overwhelming.

If you’ve been following my journey, you know how hard I’ve fought to get here.

I never imagined needing to ask for help like this, but I truly can’t do it alone. Every dollar, every share, every prayer makes a difference. If you’re able to contribute — even a small amount — it will bring me one step closer to healing, answers, and getting my life back.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me through this unknown.

With hope and gratitude,

Mary
