Shirley's Sister Needs Life-Changing Surgery

Story

Hi, I am Shirley and I am raising funds to help my sister get a surgery to recover her health. Due to genetic issues, her immune system is compromised and has created underlying health problems aggravated by morbid obesity due to hypothyroidism, diabetes, and high blood pressure, affecting her joints and mobility among other things. To help her recover her health, she needs bariatric surgery, also known as metabolic surgery. It involves modifying the stomach or intestines to reduce food intake or absorption and improve obesity-related health issues like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure, and may reduce the risk of death from related diseases.
