Hi, I’m Ana, and I need your help!

I’ve been unable to work for many years due to multiple complex chronic illnesses, including fibromyalgia, endometriosis, adenomyosis, IBS, and being late-diagnosed AuDHD (autism + ADHD). I also deal with chronic fatigue, severe pain, nervous system dysregulation, and the mental toll that comes with trying to survive in a system not built for people like me.

I’m not just asking for help to survive — I’m asking for the chance to build a future on my own terms.

Since I was 12, I’ve wanted to be a content creator — long before you could make money from it. And now, ironically, it’s one of the only careers that could actually work with my disabilities. However I am nowhere near being able to work at the moment and I'm not sure when that day will come.

My dream is to create honest, helpful content about chronic illness, self-acceptance, beauty, and healing — without selling products or pushing consumerism. I want to talk about the hard stuff no one else wants to say out loud — the medical gaslighting, the loneliness, the burnout, the grief of losing your old life. I want to create videos that make people with conditions like mine feel less alone.

Everything I’ve learned about how to manage my health came not from doctors, but from other people sharing online.

I want to be one of those people — but without support, it’s nearly impossible to keep going in a way that’s sustainable or healthy.

What I need right now:

- A minimum of €1,500/month to cover rent, food, bills, and basic needs & medication

- Ideally €2,500/month to afford essential treatments like physiotherapy, massage, and other treatments that improve my quality of life.

I’m not asking for a luxury life. I’m asking for the chance to live with dignity and less pain..

To stop being a financial burden to the people who love me.

To keep trying.

To help others through what I create.

To bring more awareness to what living with chronic illness and disability *really* looks like.

To make it to tomorrow — and maybe even look forward to it.

If you’ve ever felt tired, defeated, or like the system was never made for you — I think you’ll understand.

If you can support me in any way, I’d be endlessly grateful.

Even just sharing this means the world.

Thank you for reading. And thank you for believing that people like me deserve a chance, too.

— Ana
