My name is Evgeniya… I’m a single mom raising 2 boys (elite gymnasts). I’ve been dealing with my health for a very long time… I had very serious surgery 10 years ago in Russia. One of the titanium screws damaged a facial nerve. And in the last 2 years, I don’t feel the right side of my face… I was hoping to go back to Russia to do surgery because it’s more affordable there, but with the war going on right now, it’s become impossible. I can’t leave my kids and my 86-year-old mom to take that much time off. So, when I went to the doctor, they said I have to have immediate surgery to be able to replace some part of the titanium. The first surgery will be on February 4…

Unfortunately, it’s very, very expensive. I did get CareCredit for $20,000, but it costs $15,000 more than that. So, it wasn’t easy to talk about it, but at this point, it’s necessary, and I would really appreciate anybody’s help. I don’t wanna take time off from work, and I don’t wanna take any time off from my kids… so it’s only 1 option to do it here… for me to be able to coach and take care of my family… but I can’t handle the pain and discomfort anymore…
