I am facing a challenging time with my health and need to travel down south for three days to get important medical advice. My back neurosurgeon, after reviewing my CAT scan and reports, has suggested that I may need a full left hip replacement. To get a second opinion and more information, I have an upcoming consultation with a USC hip surgeon. In addition to this, I have two back-to-back appointments with my neurologist for epilepsy and my otolaryngologist for Botox injections in my throat, which help me breathe and speak better.

This trip is necessary for my health, but it comes with significant expenses. I will be staying at the least expensive hotel recommended by USC, which offers a reduced rate and daily parking. Even with these discounts, the costs add up quickly, especially with parking and transportation. Thankfully, the hotel provides a shuttle to the hospital, which helps avoid extra parking fees and makes the trip a bit easier.

I would really appreciate any amount donated—whether it’s skipping a Starbucks and putting it toward my fund, or any generous amount. If you cannot donate, your prayers and well wishes are also deeply appreciated. I know these times are hard for everyone, and I am grateful for any support you can offer. Thank you for considering helping me get the care I need.
