Urgent surgery help needed

***Trigger warning as this contains sensitive subjects including sexual assault, medical trauma, homelessness and DV***


I'm a 31 year old Christian gal struggling to death with stage four endometriosis, adenomyosis, PCOS and HPV (silent kind which causes cervical cancer).


I contracted HPV from being sexually assaulted at age 17 and have had to get my cervix regularly biopsied at the cancer clinic ever since. The strain I have is invisible to the naked eye but causes cancer over time. HPV cannot be cured and can go dormant for some time, eventually it re-awakens with stress/illness/age.


I was diagnosed with stage 4 endo in 2021 after begging for medical attention for 12 years in agony, but received nothing but pain killers and hormonal pills/injections and the Mirena to cover up my "just bad periods"


It wasn't until I got private health insurance, the seriousness was taken.

I've had two surgeries prior to this one which made my conditions WORSE.

As I grow older, the diseases grow faster and I have no control over this - exhausting EVERY avenue. (extreme medications, yoga/meditation, natural remedies, diet changes, mental health management, invasive and traumatizing operations, hormones etc.)


This time I'm facing the scary growths in my reproductive organs which require urgent removal... a full hysterectomy. Third and final operation, please Lord.


Unfortunately due to DV which occurred last year, I've juggled homelessness, a court case and emergency room visits, not seeing my son for months and just generally trying to stay alive.


I cannot work, as this has landed me in hospital more than I can count due to black outs from pain, excessive bleeding and exhaustion. The pain is 10x worse than childbirth.


My current situation is this; My wonderful sister and her partner have taken me in and saved me from homelessness but I need to raise the funds to get this surgery done asap, then we can find out if the rest of my body is at risk.


I need $1100 to backpay private health in order to use it again, $500 surgeon's fee, $500 hospital fee and $300 (maximum) anesthetists fee.


Medications for after care is around $100 and I will spend the recovery at my sister's in safe hands. I will have to be on hormone replacement therapy for the rest of my life to prevent menopause, which will cost me a lot too, but all I'm seeking is funds for the first step.


Can you please help me?
