It is humbling to ask this, but I am needing help. On June 18th I’m having a hysterectomy, and due to the recovery timeline I pushed for an early surgery date this summer in order to be recovered by the time school starts in August. We were thrown a curve ball with my patient responsibility needing to be paid prior to surgery, and to be very transparent—financially, things are pretty tight right now. Thank you for considering, and even if you can’t help financially, I also welcome words of encouragement and support!

It has been a long road of struggle, disappointment, and emotions to arrive at this decision, and I have not approached this decision lightly.

Thank you for any
