I’ve been suffering with kidney stones and flare ups of pain for almost two years. After two recent trips to the Emergency room and two failed attempts to remove what we thought was a 9x11mm kidney stone, I was diagnosed with a Kidney Stricture. Now, I need testing and an operation to fix it before I lose kidney function or risk sepsis from an infection. Living with this pain has been incredibly difficult, and I am financially unable to pay for all of the treatment I need. I have no insurance, and the costs are overwhelming.

I hope to be better before I lose my kidney, but I’ve gone without treatment for a significant amount of time. My health has made it hard to keep up with work, and I worry about losing my home to medical debt. I want to get back to my job and regain my life, but I need help to make that possible.

If you can spare anything to help, I would be forever grateful. I know times are hard for a lot of people right now, and I would never ask if I wasn’t in such a hard position. Your support means everything to me, and I appreciate any help you can give.
