I'm not on the site very often so its rare that I post. I have to be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about it and quite frankly I know you don't really care, however, I thought I would give some advice that may result in contributions.

- Go Fund Me irks me as I can't verify where the money is actually going or being spent.

- If you had said in your post you needed the money because you had life threatening co-morbidity issues I would have thought twice.

- Details matter in this case; otherwise, what separates you from the other 100 posts a day that can't get surgery because they can't pay?

I really didn't think that is what they meant by this being a "support" board.

Good luck in your funding...I personally don't give strangers money.

I am very sorry for your struggles.

I too am trying to come up with money for my surgery. We're re-budgeting and selling and saving and all that jazz. I will have to finance some of it, but it is what it is.

Have you looked into financing?

Have you tried CareCredit? https://www.mysynchrony.com/merchants/carecredit-login.html

I ended up having to finance almost all of the costs through them. Not sure how I am going to pay it all off but I'm so glad I had the surgery. I am 5 weeks out and plan to start looking for a second job soon to help with the payments.

Wish I could do more to help. Good luck.

a little advice. have your doctor set up a fund for you so people can contribute to him directly. then at least people know where the money is going.

or go to Mexico. they will finance anyone - even with bad credit. and it's only 8k there vs. 11 or more in the states.

best of luck

Thank you for your input. I am not a person to ask for help usually but I thought I would give it a try since I am having sever issues that effect my everyday life. Thanks for Reading anyway
