Campaign Story
Edit: Thanks a lot to everyone who's donated thus far. If you donate please do it through paypal otherwise it'll get stuck in this site's wallet until I get a passport since that's the only document they'll recognize.
Hi, if you're reading and you don't know me, I'm Fernanda, or Elen, or Elentor. I'm Brazilian, 34 years old. If you're reading this because you have read my Let's Plays or my CYOAs or assorted writings you've probably seen me go through a few hiatuses due to my medical conditions.
The reason I'm making this GoGetFunding is simply because, well, I gotta stay afloat. I have a lifelong injury (a stab wound to my abdomen) that as far as nurses and other professionals have told me is the kind of injury that will never fully heal; even all the money and power from our president isn't really halting him from having to go on the reg to the hospital deal with his own stab injury there.
Because of it I have a hyperplasia in my abdominal area that can and have developed twice into cancer despite at first having been told to relax about it. I'm trying to gather enough money so that for my next round of surgeries I can get rid of it because that is obnoxiously expensive and not done easily; the government doesn't cover it because while you can get a cancer removed, it doesn't cover hyperplasia removal, even if it's causing neighboring regions to grow tumors.
This funding is more so I can support myself onto that. I need to pay for my exams, all the meds I take for the pain, cramps, food, all while being unemployed because for the past few years it's been very hard to focus under the intense pain I get. The bulk of my expenses has been my medical bills in the form of medicine (I need to take cyclobenzaprine and diltiazem every day for example; diltiazem isn't sold over the counter, which means I need to go to a doctor every month get the prescription; these bills stack really quickly) and appointments either to get said medicine or to make regular checkups to make sure I'm not having another growth.
If you can help me go through 2022 and maybe, hopefully, get back to a state of mind where I can be peaceful.
Thank you for reading.

To help a fellow Goon out. Loved the FF7 LP and found this in the ads. It's not much in the grand scheme of things but still.
Further news
Update posted by Fernanda Pires at 09:24 amI'm stable past the point of needing ER. To be honest with everyone who's donated to me, I've adjusted the donation bar to match my actual current needs, which are lower, at least as far as emergency is concerned.Thanks to your donations I was able to afford my meds, appointments,. . . . .
The good, the bad, and the costly
Update posted by Fernanda Pires at 06:39 amFirst of all, thank you, everyone who's donated. That means a lot to me.I'll start with the good news. I've been stable for 4 days now - meaning no internal bleeding. I hope to keep this way. I spent the first few days under sedation at home to halt muscle. . . . .

Hey Elentor - huge lurker goon here, but I just wanna say your courage, intellect and talent have really made an impression on me. You pop up in a lot of the threads I follow and you're always so insightful, kind and witty. Might sound strange, but knowing you can do the things you do, coming from the shit you've seen, makes me feel like my own problems are surmountable. Hoping you recover and find that peace you're looking for. You deserve it more than most. Marc from Copenhagen/Handsomeharald
