Please Help Cover My Daughter’s Surgery and Medical Expenses

I am seeking donations to help cover the mounting medical expenses I have incurred as caregiver for my daughter who lives with a chronic illness, and to raise funds to pay of a loan I had to take for her most recent surgery for May-Thurner Syndrome. May-Thurner is a vascular compression of the iliac vein, it constricts blood flow back to the heart and lungs which causes severe pain, breathing problems, headaches, POTS, leg and calf swelling, possible blood clots and pelvic pain. Her surgery was successful in that her normal blood flow has now been restored. It takes a long time for your vascular system to heal after this surgery and my daughter is taking it day by day, trying to get her life back.

Over time, routine treatments, specialist visits, medications, and necessary home supports have created severe financial strain, and the additional costs associated with pre-operative care, the surgery itself, hospital stays, anesthesia, post‑operative rehabilitation, and any unexpected complications are beyond what our family can manage alone. Your support will help us start to be able to breathe again as she continues her long road to good health.

Thank you so much for your generous donation—your support not only sustains my work but also makes it possible for me to send you one of my original paintings as a gift. I hope this piece brings you pleasure and resonates with your space as much as creating it did for me; your contribution turns that connection into a tangible, shared moment of art.
