Help me afford life saving treatment

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jayde. I am hoping to raise money for ketamine infusions, a treatment for treatment resistant depression. I have exhausted all of treatment options, dozens of psychiatric medications, over 50 hospitalizations, all kinds of therapy’s including DBT, CBT, and EMDR. I’m diagnosed with BPD, Major depressive disorder, Dysthymia, and multiple other mental illnesses. My dream for four years now has been to be able to get ketamine infusions in hopes to improve my quality of life. Just recently I have been approved for ketamine infusions, unfortunately it is very pricy, even though I live in Canada. It is not covered by insurance. Its $700 for one infusion. Ketamine infusions for depression usually costs $600 to $700 per treatment, and most ketamine clinics perform a series of 6 treatments over 2 to 3 weeks. Some providers offer 4 treatments over 1 to 2 weeks. The majority of ketamine providers seem to request an upfront payment for a complete set of 4 to 6 infusions. Depending on the price per infusion, this can cost the patient anywhere from $1600 to $10,000 for a full series of IV ketamine treatments for depression. The clinic psychiatrist estimated I would need around 10. I have been in group homes and foster homes since I was 14 years old, I am now 18 and have very little financial support. I am very grateful for the financial support I do have, but being able to afford all the infusions would take years. Any donations will go towards my infusions. Thank you for taking the time to read my story<3
