Dori Needs Your Help with Medical Expenses
Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,
For over three years, I have been battling extensive esophageal issues that have deeply impacted my daily life. Despite my determination to push through, the challenges I face—both medically and financially—have become overwhelming.
On March 3, 2025, I am scheduled to undergo several essential procedures: laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair, partial fundoplication, and pyloromyotomy. These surgeries are critical in addressing my gastroparesis, controlling my reflux, and rebuilding my esophageal sphincter, which has become severely compromised over time.
Even with insurance, I currently owe two $900 copays and two $5,000 deductibles- for outpatient and my upcoming surgery inpatient. The additional costs for the surgery and hospital stay are expected to bring my total expenses to approximately $13,000. This financial burden has made it difficult to focus solely on my recovery, and I am reaching out for your support.
Every donation, no matter how small, will help me move closer to receiving the life-changing treatment I need. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing my story with others or keeping me in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for your generosity and compassion during this challenging time.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Dori
