Help Laurel Pay Medical Bills for Ongoing PSC Treatment

Donation protected
After a year of testing, procedures, a benign tumor scare and a lot of "you're really not the patient type for this"... I was indeed diagnosed with PSC in early 2024. Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis is a rare and progressive liver disease that causes scarring of the bile ducts. Pain and fatigue are pretty standard, and the disease often leads to the need for a liver transplant, and bile duct cancer can be a risk.

There is currently no cause or cure that exists, so we are just in a maintenance phase. That means MRIs (to keep an eye on bile duct dilation + my hepatic tumor), bloodwork (to make sure liver enzymes aren't spiking or indicating progression), ERCPs (procedures that clear out my bile ducts)...and unfortunately, continuous medical bills that are......kind of never-ending. :/ This will undoubtedly be what we're up against every calendar year.

Donations here directly help us pay medical bills. The amount represented in the goal is enough for us to cover my outstanding out-of-pocket max bills.

Admittedly this is weird and hard to ask for but it will help me and Logan a lot.

Thank you! xx Laurel
