BookWorm 87 Posted October 29, 2015 I'm not on the site very often so its rare that I post. I have to be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about it and quite frankly I know you don't really care, however, I thought I would give some advice that may result in contributions. - Go Fund Me irks me as I can't verify where the money is actually going or being spent. - If you had said in your post you needed the money because you had life threatening co-morbidity issues I would have thought twice. - Details matter in this case; otherwise, what separates you from the other 100 posts a day that can't get surgery because they can't pay?

Pillar2butterfly 391 Posted October 29, 2015 I really didn't think that is what they meant by this being a "support" board. Good luck in your funding...I personally don't give strangers money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
halfsizeme 28 Posted October 29, 2015 I am very sorry for your struggles. I too am trying to come up with money for my surgery. We're re-budgeting and selling and saving and all that jazz. I will have to finance some of it, but it is what it is. Have you looked into financing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PayItForward 207 Posted October 29, 2015 Have you tried CareCredit? https://www.mysynchrony.com/merchants/carecredit-login.html I ended up having to finance almost all of the costs through them. Not sure how I am going to pay it all off but I'm so glad I had the surgery. I am 5 weeks out and plan to start looking for a second job soon to help with the payments. Wish I could do more to help. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pr_pitbullgrl 1,039 Posted October 29, 2015 a little advice. have your doctor set up a fund for you so people can contribute to him directly. then at least people know where the money is going. or go to Mexico. they will finance anyone - even with bad credit. and it's only 8k there vs. 11 or more in the states. best of luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for Reading anyway a little advice. have your doctor set up a fund for you so people can contribute to him directly. then at least people know where the money is going. or go to Mexico. they will finance anyone - even with bad credit. and it's only 8k there vs. 11 or more in the states. best of luck Thank you very much for the input!
