Help a Single Mom Reclaim Her Life After 21 Years of Misdiagnosis

At 17, I entered the ER with a swollen leg and left without answers. For 21 years, I’ve endured chronic pain, failed treatments, and being repeatedly dismissed by medical professionals. I consulted specialists across the country, underwent painful procedures, and lived with growing debilitation—but never gave up the fight for relief.

✨ Now, there’s finally hope. A specialist in Dallas has identified the root cause: a massive intersacral meningeal cyst compressing crucial nerves and damaging my spine. Surgery could change everything—relieve pain, restore mobility, and give me the chance to live, not just survive.

But insurance won’t cover it. While they approve devices to mask the pain, they deny treatment to fix it. That’s why I’m raising funds—to pay out-of-pocket for a life-saving procedure, travel, and recovery.

As a process improvement engineer, I identify the problem, document the baseline, and make improvements. This fundraiser is my declaration: I’m no longer stuck—I’m on the path to healing.

Please know I don’t ask for help lightly. I am a proud do-it-yourselfer. But I can’t do this on my own. Please donate, share, and help me take the next step toward a life without constant pain.
