Joe's kidney stone stent removal

Hello, I am trying to raise money to cover the cost of my husband Joe's surgery. First of all let me start out saying for those that know me this is not an easy decision. I'm stubborn and don't like asking for help but I am all out of options.

So here is our story.

Memorial Day 2024, my husband went to the local ER for a 9mm kidney stone trapped at the opening of the ureter. We don't have insurance and we weren't able to find any one willing to remove the stone so he suffered all summer and fall working through all the pain.

Christmas Eve 2024 morning he goes to the ER again for this pain and they end up sending him to a different hospital where he had emergency surgery to have 2 stints put in (one in each kidney) as he now has stones blocking the ureter on both sides.

Joe was in constant pain and we were back and forth to the local ER, clinic and pharmacy at least once sometimes twice a week trying to get these stints removed since Christmas Eve.

April 14, 2025 he has surgery to remove the right side stint and lasered 2 - 12mm and 1 - 14 mm stones that were in the right kidney. He asked to have the left side taken care of at the same time. Doc refused to do left side.

So here we are in limbo on how we are going to get this left stint removed. Because he wasn't working from the end of NOV to the beginning of May and I was the only income, we have maxed out all of the credit cards and are struggling trying to make ends meet.

With all of the medical bills from several ER visits each including a CT scan, separate doctors bills, and his prescriptions any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
