Pay for surgery
Donation protected
Hi my name is Alejandra, and I’m fundraising to help pay for surgery to remove a breast tumor.
In January of 2022 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at 19 weeks pregnant. Shortly after that diagnosis, I suffered a miscarriage and lost my baby at 20 weeks. I then had surgery to have a full thyroidectomy March 22nd. While I was seeing a thyroid specialist and oncologist they discovered a couple breast lumps. I was then scheduled for ultrasounds, which led to biopsies. At that point they found out I had a breast tumor on my left breast that was growing at a rapid rate. My breast Dr. scheduled me for surgery October 5th.
2 weeks ago I received a letter from my health insurance stating that my policy had been terminated because I am a DACA recipient, and no longer qualified for health insurance. I have never missed a payment and was denied reinstatement. I then searched for private insurance and purchased a premium plan. But my doctors office called and said I had zero surgical benefits.
So to have this surgery I have to pay upfront, and it only covers surgical center and anesthesia. No doctor or hospital fee coverage. I’m still currently paying all the other specialist bills, hospital stay from my previous surgery that my insurance didn’t cover, and still trying to maintain the day to day bills, run a business because I’m self employed and raise 2 little girls, ages 5 and almost 4.
im not the type of person to ask anyone for anything so making this go fund me has been really difficult for me. But if there’s anything you can help with, my baby girls and I would be so grateful.
