Hello everyone,

I never imagined I would be in a position where I needed to ask for help, but the last few months have been incredibly difficult medically and financially.

I have been experiencing severe abnormal bleeding and related health issues that have required multiple doctor visits, testing, and specialist referrals. Because of my symptoms and family history, my doctors have recommended that I move forward with a hysterectomy. I am currently being referred to a gynecologic oncologist so the surgery can be expedited.

While I am hopeful that this surgery will finally give me relief and improve my health, the reality is that the medical bills and recovery time will place a significant financial strain on my family.

I am a full-time student working toward my degree and a mom to two amazing kids. During recovery I may not be able to work or keep up with normal expenses for a few weeks while my body heals.

Any support will go directly toward:

• Medical bills and hospital expenses

• Medications and follow-up care

• Basic living expenses while I recover

• Supporting my kids while I focus on healing

Even if you cannot donate, sharing this page would mean so much.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and encouragement during a really scary time for my family. I’m hopeful that this surgery will allow me to heal and move forward toward a healthier future.

With gratitude,

Elyse
