You folks mostly know how conservative I am, with some libertarian leanings.

Friend of the blog Michelle Ray (on Twitter as @GaltsGirl ) is a staunch ideological ally. She’s also a nice lady. And Obamacare has caused her to lose her previously sufficient health care coverage. And now faced with the need for gall bladder surgery, she’s turned to GoFundMe as a way to help pay for it.

In addition to being a fund to help me finally get the gallbladder surgery I need, this is also a bit of an experiment in peer-to-peer lending. 

I have suffered gallstones since 2000, but in the last year, my attacks have become more frequent. If you’ve never had a gallstone, let me assure you that giving birth to four kids was less painful. 

I have every intention of PAYING BACK donors.
My options are these:

Have surgery and ditch the bill.  – I f you know me, you know that isn’t happening.
Continue to save until I can afford surgery. This will mean at least one more year, assuming no other emergency expenses.
Or, try this.
Donors *WILL* be paid back (please add email to comments so I can reach you! ) as quickly as possible.
If you aren’t interested in being paid back, I have friends willing to donate goods and services in thanks to you.
If you cannot donate, thank you for reading and your prayers are greatly appreciated.

Please consider helping her out.
