Endometriosis surgery for Alina

My girlfriend Alina was diagnosed with Endometriosis back in October. Endometriosis is a painful disorder that is characterized by uterine tissue (endometrial tissue) growing outside and around the uterus which causes scarring, inflammation, and infertility. It’s extremely painful and has impacted her quality of life significantly. The only real treatment for it is explorative laparoscopic surgery to find the endometriosis and remove it. Unfortunately, even with insurance, there is an out-of-pocket cost of around $4500 due to the lack of specialists in the field. All of this has happened quickly, leaving us in a bind. Alina is currently between jobs and finishing an expensive move, and was not anticipating needing a procedure- so money is very tight. Anything at all helps and is greatly appreciated. The healthcare system is so corrupt, this is not something we anticipated needing to do but it is where we are. All proceeds will go directly towards Alina's procedure and appointments leading up to/following surgery. Thank you all so much!
