<div><strong>I ask for your support today...</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>﻿Angeli, a dear friend of mine,</strong> has recently undergone surgery to remove a painful growth. There was also an invasive pre-op procedure that involved the doctor to insert a metal piece into her body to track the growth, as it seemed to show no end in it's continued growth. It was nearing the size of a quarter. <em>The pre-op procedure occurred days before the surgery.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After the pre-op procedure <em>(once they implanted the metal piece)</em>, she was informed of the cost of the surgery that would be occurring a few days later, ultimately being <strong>$26,778.44</strong> and how she wouldn't be able to do any form of payment plan. This is <strong>because she has no health insurance. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This was a shock to Angeli because they hadn’t informed her of this prior to getting started with the pre-op procedure of inserting her with a metal piece to track the growth. She figured that she would be allowed a payment plan, especially since no one explained this to her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>After negotiating with the hospital</strong>, she was able to get the original total amount due reduced from $53,556.89 to $26,778.44 <em>(which is still way outside of what she is able to handle financially)</em>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She agreed to this price because <strong>she had to have this procedure to remove the painful growth. </strong>She also agreed because<strong> </strong>they had already implanted the metal piece to track the growth and they did that prior to informing her of this giant bill. She wanted that metal out of her body.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Angeli works with a non-profit collective</strong> and she does amazing work based on the belief that communities impacted by disparities, <em>such as having no health insurance</em>, have the vision and experience to guide change.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I believe that self-care is community care. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And so, I am asking for your help to share what you can financially, to support Angeli as she faces both a long time window of healing and <strong>this insane medical bill of $26,778.44</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I would like to raise a total of $30,000 so that she can also buy medications and other necessary items for her healing.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>If you feel compelled, please support </strong>so that Angeli can pay her bill and take good care of herself. She does so much for the community and takes care of others, it's time for us to take care of her in this troubling time she is undergoing.
</div>

<div>Les pido su apoyo para Angeli, una querida amiga mía, quien recientemente se sometió a una cirugía para extirparle un tumor doloroso. También se le realizó un procedimiento preoperatorio invasivo que implicó que el médico le insertara una pieza metálica en el cuerpo para monitorear el crecimiento, ya que parecía no tener fin. Tenía casi el tamaño de una moneda de 25 centavos. El procedimiento preoperatorio se realizó días antes de la cirugía.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Después del procedimiento preoperatorio (una vez que le implantaron la pieza metálica), le informaron del costo de la cirugía, que se realizaría unos días después, que ascendía a $26,778.44, y que no podría aceptar ningún plan de pagos. Esto se debe a que no tiene seguro médico.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Esto fue un shock para Angeli, ya que no le habían informado antes de comenzar con el procedimiento preoperatorio de insertarle una pieza metálica para monitorear el crecimiento. Pensó que le permitirían un plan de pagos, especialmente porque nadie se lo explicó.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Después de negociar con el hospital, logró que el monto total original adeudado se redujera de $53,556.89 a $26,778.44 (que todavía está muy fuera de lo que puede manejar financieramente).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aceptó este precio porque necesitaba este procedimiento para extirpar el doloroso tumor. También aceptó porque ya le habían implantado la pieza metálica para controlar el crecimiento, y lo hicieron antes de informarle de esta factura enorme. Quería eliminar ese metal de su cuerpo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Angeli trabaja con una cooperativa sin fines de lucro y realiza un trabajo increíble, basándose en la convicción de que las comunidades afectadas por desigualdades, como la falta de seguro médico, tienen la visión y la experiencia para impulsar el cambio.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Creo que el autocuidado es cuidado comunitario.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Por eso, les pido su ayuda para compartir lo que puedan económicamente, para apoyar a Angeli mientras enfrenta un largo período de recuperación y esta factura médica desorbitada de $26,778.44.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Me gustaría recaudar un total de $30,000 para que también pueda comprar medicamentos y otros artículos necesarios para su recuperación.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Si se siente motivado(a), por favor, apoye a Angeli para que pueda pagar su factura y cuidarse bien. Hace mucho por la comunidad y cuida de los demás; es hora de que la cuidemos en este momento difícil que está atravesando.
</div>
