Elena Gowdys Life Saving Surgery

Donation protected
My dear friend and coworker Elena has been going through pancreas problems since September of 2019. After seeing many specialists she has finally been referred to a surgeon in Chicago that has agreed to perform Pancreatic Cystgastrostomy with Debridement, a potentially life saving surgery.

On top of the problems that have come with covid, she has had to bear the stress and  constant struggle of her medical issues. She’s had over 20 hospital stays and countless ER visits. She’s not one to ask for help and is  strong enough that she even worked while she  was in the hospital and has spent the majority of every major holiday there. Insurance will  cover only a small portion and had denied many of the claims for her past visits. This has brought on compounding medical bills & she her and fiancé will also have to pay for lodging while she gets her life saving surgery out of state.

They’ll leave for Chicago and have to spend two to three weeks there while prepping  and recovering.  Anything you can donate helps, thank you.
