My Kidney Wants to Kill Me - Help Me Evict It
Donation protected
Hey friends and kind strangers…
So… turns out my kidney has decided to go rogue. Rude of it to betray me like this after all we’ve been through (hydration, tequila shots, that time I gave up IPAs for a week). My name is Lucrezia Lucchi, I’ve been diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma (aka kidney cancer), and now we’re breaking up. Permanently. I’ll be having a radical nephrectomy, which is a fancy way of saying, “We’re taking the whole thing out.” One kidney gone, but thankfully I’ve got a spare.
The good news? I have insurance that is helping with the major medical costs. The less good news? Life doesn’t exactly press pause when you’re recovering from organ theft (medical, but still).
Here’s why I could really use your help:
- I’ll be out of work for a bit while I recover (and, let’s be real, binge-watch terrible TV in a morphine haze).
- Gas and travel to appointments add up quick.
- Groceries, rent, and adulting don’t go on hiatus just because I’m missing an internal organ.
- I might need some extra help with nutrition, mental health support, and comfort stuff while healing.
- Also… I just want to stress less and heal more, without panicking about money.
If you can donate - amazing. If you can share this with someone who might want to help - also amazing. Every little bit genuinely helps, whether it’s $5, $50, or just sending a good meme to keep my spirits up.
Thank you for reading, supporting, and just being cool humans. Let’s get this tumor out, get me healed up, and back to “normal”.
With gratitude,
Lucky
