funding a diagnosis, finding a cure

so as you may already be aware if you know me, I’m very sick. I have been since around november of last year, and I don’t have a diagnosis yet beyond ‘we’re 90% sure it’s autoimmune and you have an unidentified white mass in your brain’ but it’s only getting worse.

to make a long story short, my employer has me trapped in limbo where I don't qualify for assistance because they technically haven’t fired me, but I’m not working and the insurance they provided me doesn’t cover anything. I've been getting by on what little remains of my savings, some assistance from family, and the small amounts of money I've made selling artwork online, but it's barely enough to cover living expenses.

so I’m stuck with rapidly increasing medical bills and no income.

every dollar has potential to make a huge difference, both with covering my already accrued medical debts and with getting new tests done sooner, since some of them require partial payment up front, which is becoming increasingly difficult to come up with.
