Emergency Funds for Chronic Illness Medication
Donation protected
Hi! If you don’t know me, My name is Lee. I run a small candle and jewelry store on Etsy, I have 3 cats that I adore more than anything, and I’m a Horror movie enthusiast But that’s not why we’re here. Behind what you see everyday, I deal with severe Fibromyalgia and debilitating chronic migraine, weekly seizures, along with a few other chronic illnesses. And in the last few months I have had to deal with struggles that I never would wish on my worst enemy: I see multiple doctors regularly to try and manage my health. I have lost my memory, my speech, my endurance, my balance, my basic motor skills, my ability to walk without assistance- Spending weeks in the hospital, and losing my ability to work and drive. And NOW unfortunately with the insurance deductibles starting over I can’t afford the 24+ medications I’m on. They’re ranging in price from $20-$1000 per month. I make a tiny bit of income from my etsy shop, but I was already coming up short on bills and am having my groceries covered by my partner. Without being able to drive or work, I am stuck with no budget and no wiggle room. And I absolutely need these medications to be safe and functional in my every day life. Anything you can donate would be an absolute blessing, and would go toward the medications I need to keep the conditions at bay. I also have the etsy shop I mentioned, if you’d like to support me that way, at wiccalite.etsy.com And of course any and all shares would mean equally as much!! The stress of worrying about money on top of illness can be a lot, so even the smallest amount helps in a big way Spread the word and spread good energy and love- that is always appreciated!!Thank you so much- I love and appreciate every singe one of you~
