Help Jesse pay for brain tumor removal
Donation protected
My name is Jesse, and I never thought it would come to this, but I have nowhere else to turn. Around August of 2020, I started having seizures. I woke up in a hospital room quite a few times since then. During one such visit in October, I had an MRI done, and found out, that these seizures are being caused by a cystic lesion in the temporal lobe in my brain. Since then, I’ve suffered several more seizures, and have been prescribed a few medications in an attempt to manage them. The doctors told me that they’re not able to tell whether or not it’s cancerous unless it’s taken out, and they perform a biopsy on the cyst/tumor, so naturally, they suggest to me to have it taken out immediately. So I schedule the surgery, and the surgeon office gets in touch with my insurance company. Turns out, the insurance covers all, but $3,700, or so of the costs.(This, I’m told, is the copay, because we got new insurance from work, and it’s a new year.) Unfortunately, like most average Americans, I don’t have a spare 3,700-some odd dollars on-hand, and while I’m able to save upwards of a couple of hundred dollars, sometimes, but because of all of the MRIs, ER trips, ambulance rides, EKGs, and other tests, I mostly am just living paycheck, to paycheck now. I have nowhere else to turn, and don’t know who to ask. I’ve never went through a surgery of any kind before(let alone brain surgery), and don’t know where else to turn. Anything will help. Thank you for reading, and hearing me out.
