I previously underwent a major surgical procedure that was intended to improve my health and quality of life. Unfortunately, I experienced serious complications, and despite follow-up care, my medical situation has not improved. These complications have continued to affect my physical health and have significantly impacted my quality of life.

I now require extensive ongoing medical care. I have an MRI scheduled this week and additional specialist consultations ahead, and I am facing two, possibly three, additional surgeries. Alongside the medical burden, there are substantial related costs, including time away from work, travel and lodging for care, and ongoing recovery expenses.

The physical health impacts have also taken a toll on my mental and emotional well-being. Navigating the growing costs of healthcare in the U.S., while managing serious medical needs, has left me in a position where I need to ask for help.

Funds raised will go directly toward surgical costs, as well as required travel, lodging, and recovery support. These are all critical to ensuring a safe recovery and the best possible outcome.

Any support, whether through a donation, sharing this page, or simply taking the time to read, truly means more than I can express. Thank you for your compassion and for helping me move toward healing.

There is currently an active investigation related to my prior surgery, which adds another layer of complexity to an already difficult medical situation. As I work to secure appropriate care, I may also need support with future legal and advocacy costs connected to this process. Any funds used in this way would be directly related to protecting my health, access to care, and long-term well-being.
