Support Urgent Medical Care for CSF Leak

help me cover the cost of emergency medical care!

i have a cerebrospinal fluid leak – there is a tear in the membrane surrounding my spine and brain, and the fluid that surrounds those things is now leaking out through my sinus. this CSF leak required testing to diagnose and locate, and now requires immediate surgery to repair.

the past 2 weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster. i have done a beta-2 test, a ct scan, 2 mris, an mra, visited the ENT, neurologist, and emergency room, and now face the cost of surgery and accommodation during the recovery period. the cost of all my tests and procedures is quickly adding up. it would mean the world to me if anyone is able to contribute financially & help me get out of medical debt.

i set the final goal for this fundraiser at $5,000 because i have already spent several thousand dollars on testing and i don’t have an estimate for the cost of surgery yet. i will update as soon as i can.

thank you!!!
