Help Mel Afford Kidney Stone Surgery (Ended)

Hi I'm Mel, a freelance artist by trade, which means often the income comes in pretty unsteady. There's a lot of feast or famine times with waiting in between payments, and this is no different. What is different is I need funds to cover a kidney stone surgery, or rather what my insurance won't cover. Can't have the surgery (or even schedule the surgery yet) without funds up front before the event. Any help would be much appreciated as I can't see enough income coming in in a reasonable time frame for it.
