Hi yall, I'm reaching out because I'm facing a major high-risk surgery on November 17th, and I need help getting through it. This is my 6th attempt to fix the damage caused from me being involved in 9/11 as a survivor and responder.

This surgery is serious, and my recovery will be challenging. Afterward, I'll be on a feeding tube, which means I'll need supplies that aren't covered by DME. Beyond the medical equipment, there are so many other expenses piling up that I'm worried about—bills that won't wait, and caring for my dogs while I'm recovering and unable to do it myself.

I'm asking for your help so I can focus on healing instead of stressing about how I'm going to manage everything. Your support means I can get the supplies I need, keep my bills current, and make sure my dogs are cared for during my recovery. It sounds like a lot, but it's what I need to get through this successfully.

I'm grateful for any help you can offer. Thank you for standing with me during this difficult time.
