Support Derek’s Surgery and Recovery Journey

Donation protected

After a difficult journey, I finally have a surgery date: April 29.


Here is the full breakdown of the costs:


• Surgery: $8,000

• Insurance coverage (20%): -$1,600

• Remaining surgery balance: $6,400

• Operating room / admission fees: $500

• Medications, post-op supplies, and initial follow-ups: $1,100


Total needed: $9,000


This amount doesn’t just cover the procedure… it represents the first real step toward my recovery.


It is never easy to ask for help, but at this moment it gives me the chance to get back on my feet and rebuild my life.


I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has donated, shared, or simply sent support. Truly, I wouldn’t be going through this alone without you.
