Help Vi Get a Biopsy After 2 Years of Illness

Hi everyone, my name is Vi, and for the past 2 years, I’ve been battling a relentless health issue that has left me exhausted, constantly sick, and unable to live my life the way a 22-year-old should.

In October of 2022 one of my lymph nodes swelled up and hardened —and it hasn’t gone away, it’s only ever grown since. Since then, I’ve been getting sick almost every single week (or only monthly if I’m lucky). I’ve been hospitalized and sent to urgent care over 40 times, desperate for treatment and answers. I’ve seen many doctors outside of urgent care/hospital visits

as well, but they’ve only offered me short-term solutions that never truly addressed the root of the problem.

Everything changed in August 2024 when I found a new doctor who finally took my condition seriously. Since then, I’ve undergone countless MRIs, CT scans, and tests. Recently, I was finally offered a surgery that could provide me real answers—but the cost is extremely overwhelming.

I really want to get better + live healthily, but I can’t afford the cost of the surgery, time off, the previous medical bills I have built up or basic necessities while I heal from this.

This illness has stolen so much from me—I barely have the energy to go out or do the things I love without feeling exhausted or sick. After 2 years of uncertainty, pain, and dead ends, I just want answers and a chance to heal from this.

If you’re able to donate, I would be endlessly grateful. If you can’t, even just sharing this helps more than you know. Everything will be going to out of pocket costs for the surgery for the hospital and anesthesiologist. Thank you for reading, for supporting me, and for giving me hope that I can finally get better.

With gratitude,

Vi
