The Egg Lady's Student Loan Relief
Donation protected
Howdy! I'm Patty and I'm a huge egg nerd and artist. A few years back I gained the privilege of being able to do two jobs that I thoroughly enjoy. By day I am a shell egg grader for the USDA, and by night I am a freelance artist. It's been working great for me, and I couldn't be happier working for the general public, and all my great art clients!
So what's going on?
Earlier this year I was diagnosed with tendinosis. Immediately I was told that my art output would have to be severely reduced if not stopped all together. Given that art is my other passion in life besides eggs, I chose to reduce it. Unfortunately, this means that my ability to pay my bills has been greatly reduced.
Why $4,000?
While the amount that I owe in student loans is more than $4,000, this amount would reduce my monthly bills by $100. $100 may not seem like a lot in the grand scheme of things, but it makes a huge difference when it comes to taking freelance work. If this doesn't reach it's goal, I will still send every cent to my loans. If by some miracle it meets and exceeds, even more will continue going to my loans.
Does this mean you will stop doing art? We want you to keep working for us!
Not at all! I want to keep working for you at this reduced level. Keeping my output at this level prevents further damage, and helps me mitigate my day-to-day pain. The less pain I'm in, the more steadily I can produce for folks and keep the art love going!
Will your tendinosis ever go away?
I was told that as long as I'm doing this work, it probably will not. However, keeping track of what I do, how I eat, and doing my exercises will keep further damage from happening. That's my goal! To be able to just keep on keeping on, but without the constant worry if I am going to do too much and hurt myself.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to see this. Thank you even more if you choose to help out!
