Julia's Endometriosis Journey

For years, I have been silently battling endometriosis - a disease that has completely changed my life in ways I never imagined. What started as painful periods has turned into something far more severe, affecting my ability to function almost everyday.

I had major excision surgery in May of last year in hopes of finally getting relief, but my journey hasn’t ended there. I am now facing nerve compression and entrapment, and severe pelvic pain leaving me stuck in the house/bed for days at a time. The pain can be unbearable, accompanied by extreme fatigue, nausea, and symptoms that make even the simplest tasks feel impossible. It’s exhausting, isolating, and honestly it's scary.

There is a treatment option that offers me some hope. A specialized series of ultrasound guided pelvic injections using anti-inflammatories and herbal medications. This treatment has shown incredible results for patients like me after excision surgery. Unfortunately, it is not available in Canada, and I would need to travel to Houston, Texas to receive it.

The cost for the 6-week treatment is approximately $10,000CDN, not including travel, accommodations, and basic living expenses while I’m there. It’s a significant financial burden, but it’s also a chance at getting my life back.

I am reaching out with a hopeful heart to ask for your support. Any donation, no matter how small, would mean the world to me and bring me one step closer to relief. If you’re unable to donate, simply sharing my fundraiser would help more than you know.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for any kindness you can offer. I am truly grateful for every bit of support during this incredibly difficult journey.
