I'm getting a total hysterectomy with excision of endometriosis on March 27th. I have been struggling with chronic illness for many years, and endometriosis is one of the conditions I have. Surgery is going to be incredibly helpful in treating (some of) my chronic pain, however recovery is going to be difficult. My partner Micha is going to be caring for me as I recover and will need to take at least a week off work to help me with getting out of bed, taking my medications, making sure I eat, etc.
Micha is currently working 3 jobs- 2 part time and one freelance- to support us. I am unable to work due to my disabilities and have been in the process of applying to SSI; I have tried every avenue of financial assistance available to me aside from that and there is not much help I can get besides my EBT- which does not cover a full month of groceries.
We are trying to raise money to afford recovery items, but we are struggling to cover other costs as well. Our energy bill has been over $350 for the past several months, and I have been going back and forth with an energy assistance program to help us but it has been a 5 month process so far just for them to process the application (that i've submitted about 5 or 6 times). Micha's phone screen has been broken since December, and the right side of the screen as well as part of the top is completely unusable- Micha needs their phone for work, paying bills, helping me pay my bills, communication, transportation and more. It costs hundreds to fix it- money we do not have. The damage is actively spreading & we're worried the screen will break completely soon.
Micha has also been unable to pay student loan bills the past several months due to more pressing financial concerns ie paying for bills & food not covered by EBT.
We are also moving soon; our lease is up in May and saving for a security deposit & first months rent has been hard. We do not have enough to cover bills, moving, michas phone & student loans, and recovery items at the same time. We are asking for any amount; $1.5k is what I put as a goal but realistically I know it will be much less than that, which is ok. If I can get to $100 that would be able to cover most of the recovery items. If we can get to $500 that would cover recovery items, fixing Michas phone and maybe more.
Any amount helps, even $1- I will also put our payment apps if you'd rather send $ directly. If not, please share this. I havent seen anyone sharing our fundraiser in a while and I am genuinely terrified about how well my recovery will go but money would help cover the things that would make it easy to recover/minimize complications.
Thank you for reading.
