A few words about my fundraiser. I am so grateful for every one who has been showing their love and support. It is so hard to ask for help. But it means so much to me to have such a special community and know that we can do things like this for each other āØš THANKYOU.
For a bit of backgroundš¦“
in January, I broke my hand by simply picking up an iPad. It took weeks to get into an ortho, after being misdiagnosed by a careless ER doctor who dismissed my pain, sending me home having done no x rays, and with no medication or assistance other than a splint costing me hundreds of dollars. I was scared, in pain, confused, and angry. Then the ortho ( who is amazing btw ) found a tumor in my bone in my left hand, which had eaten it away from the inside. This made the exterior of the bone like an eggshell and was weakened by daily strenuous use of the hand until finally it cracked under pressure.

Why do I need help:
I aged out of my parents insurance a little over a year ago and at the time I was living alone, had to provide for myself with no assistance and the quotes I received for insurance were between 3 and $400 a month, I couldnāt afford that but also didnāt qualify for gov insurance. However when I learned that I would need surgery I still tried again to get insurance. I was told by several representatives and other professionals that there were no options for me.
And of the options that could potentially be available, they would provide zero coverage for any existing conditions, including my arthritis, enchondroma, or subsequent broken hand and necessary surgeries or bone graft.

SO! Das how we ended up here. biting the bullet and asking my community to help me. I will be pursuing financial assistance through the hospital, to potentially help with the surgery cost. (PLUS following my surgery I will be without income for at least six weeks. It is all very overwhelming)
BUT the incredible outreach Iāve received, and all of the emotional support from my friends and family have made this whole process a lot less scary than it could be. and Iām SO GRATEFUL. LOVE, BEAN
