update 2/1/26: what was originally supposed to be an outpatient procedure ended up being a four day hospital stay! i also had an ovary & fallopian tube removed, which i didn’t know about until i woke up from surgery lol! the procedure was a lot more difficult than expected. the doctor came into my hospital room afterwards and said to me, “yeah, that was a tough one!” and my torso looks like i have 6 stab wounds. not only that, but on top of car payments, my car has actually now broken down and will need to be towed and fixed in order for me to get back to work in a few weeks when i’m cleared everything is hitting all at once but we’re getting through it with a shaky smile. anything helps and is so appreciated. love you xoxo

On Friday, January 2nd, I found out I will be having invasive surgery to remove a large unknown "multi-cystic mass" from my left ovary on January 12th.

After receiving ultrasounds for what I thought would just be a cyst on December 24th, the entire process of finding the mass to removing it has been very quick-moving and overwhelming. As someone who only works part-time and does not have health insurance, this is incredibly nerve-wracking. I'm not only nervous about actually getting the surgery and finding out exactly what this mass is- "we won't know until we take it out"- but I am also put in a position where I will not be able to work for weeks.

I'm looking for support in order to at least pay my car payment and insurance for two months. I have no idea when I will be able to get steadily back on my feet working after this surgery, and being able to afford paying for my car would take a HUGE weight off of my shoulders and allow me to fully focus on my recovery.

I'm so appreciative of any help offered. Surplus funds will go directly to the grocery budget or straight to medical bills. Love you all xoxo
