Hi there! My name is Beverly. I’m a recent graduate student from the University of Houston - Downtown.

I recently started experiencing abdominal pain up to a point that I could no longer handle it and had to go to the ER. That’s when they said I have appendicitis and needed surgery to prevent a rupture in the future. As a recent college student, the first thing that came to my mind was the money. Terrified of what would happen and how much debt this is going to cause me.

I recently got engaged and had the illusion of planning my dream wedding. But now here I am wondering if I will have to postpone it due to financial burden.

It feels weird to ask for money from strangers, but I feel so desperate and scared that this is going to affect my life greatly as someone who just started a career and has dreams of opening my own business one day and furthering my career. So here I am asking, praying, please help me get through this.
