Hi everyone,

This is not something I ever imagined I’d need to ask for, but right now I’m facing a medical expense I can’t manage on my own.

I need an endoscopy to diagnose and treat ongoing symptoms that have started to impact my health and daily life. This procedure isn’t optional—it’s necessary to understand what’s going on and to prevent things from getting worse. Unfortunately, even with insurance, the out-of-pocket cost is more than we can reasonably absorb right now.

My husband is currently between jobs, and we’re living on a single income. Without help, paying for this procedure would wipe out the savings we rely on for basic living expenses and emergencies. We’ve cut back everywhere we can, but this is one expense we can’t postpone or avoid.

Asking for help is incredibly hard for me. I’m someone who usually focuses on helping others, not asking for support myself. But right now, I need to prioritize my health so I can continue to show up for my family, my work, and the people who depend on me.

If you’re able to donate—no matter the amount—it will go directly toward covering the cost of this procedure and related medical expenses. If you’re not able to give financially, sharing this page or sending a kind word means more than you know.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you’re able to offer. It truly means everything to us during this uncertain time.

With gratitude,

Anita
