Hi,

Our daughter Keely has been living with Stage 3 endometriosis for over a decade. It has ravaged her health, stolen time and energy from her life, and severely impacted her ability to work, move freely, and simply live without constant pain. You've witnessed and been part of this journey with us.

Just for context, Endometriosis affects 1 in 7 women—yet it’s still one of the most underdiagnosed, misunderstood, and underfunded conditions in modern medicine. On average, it takes 7 to 10 years to be properly diagnosed. Our daughter’s story is no exception.

For over a decade, she was told that the pain was “normal.” That it was “stress.” That it was “just part of being a woman.” But it wasn’t. It was endometriosis—and it’s been wreaking havoc on her body ever since.

We’ve finally found a specialist who can help through advanced excision surgery, which is considered the gold standard for endometriosis treatment. This could give Keely her life back — but our insurance won’t cover it. We need $15,000 to cover the procedure, related costs, and rehabilitation.

We’re launching this fundraiser with humility and hope. We know times are hard. Many are feeling the strain—especially in our creative and freelance communities. But if you’re able to help—whether it’s $5, $50, or just by sharing this—it means everything to us.

We appreciate you for being part of our life so far and taking the time to consider this.

Love,

David & Amanda
