Nick Needs Your Help: Surgery Ahead

Hi, I’m Nick — a chef living in McKinney, TX. I’m not usually one to ask for help, and it’s difficult for me to even consider doing this, but I’m facing a medical challenge that’s tough to manage alone.

I’m having surgery tomorrow to remove a chest mass (a lipoma in my left pec). It’s non-cancerous, but it’s painful and growing, and requires general anesthesia for safe removal.

Because this came up quickly, I’ve taken out a line of credit to cover the immediate costs. I’m now asking for help to pay that back and to cover any follow-up appointments, prescriptions, or missed work during my 2.5 to 3-week recovery.

I’m hoping to raise $4,500 to help cover:

• Surgery and anesthesia not fully covered by insurance

• Repaying the line of credit used for upfront costs

• Medications and follow-ups

• Income, if any, lost during recovery

Any support means more than I can say — whether it’s donating a dollar or simply sharing this page. Thank you so much.

— Nick
