I am asking for help with the cost of urgently needed surgery to treat my uterine fibroids, as well as the expenses that come with recuperation afterward. I have been living with large, symptomatic fibroids for five years, and despite following my doctor’s treatment and guidance, my condition has become more difficult to manage over time.

For several months, I experienced very heavy bleeding that affected my blood count. I worked closely with my doctor to get that under control, and medication has thankfully helped raise my blood count to a level that is suitable for surgery. While that has been an important step forward, I am still dealing with daily pain.

Because of my daily symptoms, I have also been switched from field work to desk work at my job. This has affected my earnings and made it harder for me to support myself and pay for the surgery I need.

The fibroids are also affecting other parts of my health. They have caused increased acid reflux and stomach discomfort, and my doctor has advised that they are now affecting my kidney function as well. I am praying this surgery will help save my kidneys and keep these issues from progressing to kidney disease. Because of that, surgery is no longer something I can keep putting off. My doctor had hoped I could have the procedure in July or August of this year because of how urgent my condition has become.

I have done everything I can, but I still have not been able to secure the funds in time for this urgent surgery.

How your support will help:

• Cover the cost of my surgery
• Help with recuperation expenses while I recover

Any donation, no matter the amount, would bring me closer to getting the care I urgently need. One-time gifts are deeply appreciated, and recurring donations would also help me manage the ongoing financial strain tied to surgery and recuperation. If you are not able to give, sharing this fundraiser would also mean so much to me. Thank you for your kindness, support, and generosity.
