Please help my cousin with her medical struggles.

Hello Friends and Family,

I have never done a go fund me before, but this seemed like a situation where I should try to help. My cousin, Crystal, is in a really tough situation because of horrible medical bills and some crappy luck. She really needs financial help. If you are able to contribute $20 or $50 or whatever you feel comfortable with, I would be so appreciative. Every dollar will really make a difference right now as she lives paycheck to paycheck and is trying to hang in there. She lives in a tiny studio apartment with two sweet small dogs. Crystal works at a vet clinic at the front desk and loves animals.

The details:

Crystal just had to put $700 into her old car to keep it running and had to therefore cash out her only small 401k to pay her rent because if she pays rent late again, her lease will not be renewed.

The government is going to begin wage garnishments starting with her next months paycheck from all her medical bills last year. Crystal broke two bones in her ankle, had emergency surgery to drain a cyst that was in her rear end, then had another surgery with a rectal specialist to remove the cyst with the hope she wouldn’t need a colostomy bag as they told her might happen, and then, she got an infected insect bite right after that, which sent her back to urgent care followed by the random infection that made the right side of her face swell and become deformed, sending her back to the ER. All this in one year.

To make make life more difficult, she suffers from bi-polar depressive disorder, childhood C-PTSD, anxiety, avoidant personality disorder, episodic dyscontrol syndrome, panic attacks, and feelings of worthlessness. Some days are better than others for her and she is a fighter and overcomer of obstacles, but this is a lot for anyone to deal with all on their own.

I thank you for listening! If you want to send some help (through this go fund me or directly to me if easier), I will make sure Crystal receives your thoughtful gift and I thank you so much for the help.

With Love,

Ariel
