A couple thoughts are to write a note on Social Media asking all of your "friends" there for help. You might be pleasantly surprised how many people offer to help out knowing you need $$ for surgery that won't be covered by insurance. You can also check out this website: Medical Fundraising: Raise Money for Medical Expenses & Medical Bills If you don't already have a PayPal account, that would help as it makes it easier for people to pay you.

Good luck!!

If it were that easy; I would have asked them. I tried GoFundme and never got a hit. I put it on my Twitter page too. I finally just deleted the acct.
