Hi everyone, my name is Lakshmi, and I’m reaching out in a moment of deep vulnerability and urgent need.
For over a year, I’ve been silently struggling with serious reproductive health issues. Recently, I’ve started showing symptoms of rapid weight gaindue to my hormonal imbalances and it’s been 12 years fighting with PCOS and recently I’ve been over 260lbs . My doctors have strongly advised that I undergo two surgeries as I do have have a family history of cancer and diabetes
Laparoscopic surgery – to remove ovarian cysts caused by PCOS and address critical uterine complications
Bariatric surgery – to urgently manage extreme weight gain, hormonal imbalance, and high blood sugar, all of which are putting my life at risk
This is no longer something I can wait on. My uterus is unhealthy, my sugar levels are rising dangerously, and I live with the constant fear of developing a more severe condition. My body is showing signs of breaking down, and I’m mentally and physically exhausted.
Why I’m Asking for Help
I am:
Unemployed and living in the U.S. with no health insurance
Completely unsupported by family
Carrying a $40,000 student loan from my graduate education
Unable to return to India due to financial and visa complications
I’ve held off on treatment over a year and half simply because I couldn’t afford it. But now, the situation has become too dangerous to delay. With no ability to take out another loan and no income, I am asking—with my whole heart—for your help.
Even $5 or $10 brings me one step closer to life-saving care. If you can’t donate, please share this fundraiser with your friends, communities, and networks—it truly helps.
This isn’t just about comfort—this is about survival and hope.
Please feel free to reach out to me directly for who needs reassurance before donating.
Thank you so much for reading, caring, and standing with me.
With deep gratitude,
Lakshmi
