Life Saving Surgery Needed
Donation protected
In 2020; I needed an emergency surgery done due to a necrotizing bacterium that was eating me from the inside of my stomach. They had to go in a cut until they found live flesh, by the time they finished the surgery, they took 90 % of my stomach. Here we are three years later, and it was found out that the little bit of stomach I do have does not work. It does not make acid, push the food through it is not building enzymes it is doing nothing but push everything back up. Because that is happening, I do not have any vitamins or nutrients in my system, severely anemic, I require Iron solution infusions and weekly banana bag IV infusions loaded with vitamins, and nutrients, to stay alive and mobile.
This surgery was supposed to take place back on November 22 but insurance turned it down due to the severity of it and they wanted more information, In December the company I was working with closed the doors permanently and only gave us two days to do it, so that insurance was no good anymore. After looking for insurance to carry me and my medical expenses that I had to take over as cash payments, I found out that the old company never deactivated the insurance making it difficult to acquire insurance on my own. I finally started back working and have new insurance that requires a 20% deductible, on top of a high out-of-pocket co-pay to the sum of $8000.00.
I am asking for help from friends and family, I need this surgery, I need help. Those who know how proud I am, know how difficult this is for me. I am getting worse the longer this takes. I have a lot of life to live and I refuse to give up.
God Bless you for even considering any assistance.
