Hey guys. So as you probably saw from my posts the past few months, things have been pretty rough in the Steph Timeline. Falling very ill in November (2016), Thanksgiving night I had to go to the hospital. After blood transfusions and tests, it was determined my kidney disease had progressed and I needed to start dialysis. After a few surgeries and a month in the hospital, my new routine started. Things were going okay and I was working 40+ hours a week along with going to my sessions Mon-Wed-Fri from 10:45-2:15. Being out of work while in the hospital for a month was really a blow to my financials. I worked more (sometimes directly after treatments) to start rebuilding. Well, less than two months out of the hospital, my job had a fire. That put me out of work from Feb.14th until present day. I DID get a sweet new job as a Suites Supervisor at Citi Field with the NY Mets! I am so excited to start this job but unfortunately it does not start until mid April. I just had surgery on March 9th, which is keeping me from finding temporary employment until my new job starts.

So so what does this all mean? I need your help. As we all know, NYC is expensive but I love living here. I am still pursuing my voice over career (Click to hear my Voice Reel ❤) and don't want to have to move when I'm so close to everything I live for. (NY sports, acting, new baseball career!) I need a small boost to help me with rent, bills and buying new clothes for the job. (I have to wear office-like clothing now. So weird for me, right?) The amount posted will help me survive for the month. Now, this is NOT a donation, this is a loan. I intend to pay this back (over time). I will keep the list of every person who donated and the amount. I will get this back to you, no matter how much. Feeling super charitable and don't need to be paid back? I will happily send you baked goods for your donation! (Vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free, etc? I GOT YOU, FAM) If you don't want to be paid back, send me a message or post that you don't need to be paid back. If not specified, you will be paid back :)

I really thank everyone for all the support the past few weeks with all the new changes. Each day is a new challenge but I'm meeting them with positivity and courage. Of course it sucks to stress over money, but I would love for this to be one less thing on my mind.

Thanks so much for reading this and hope whatever struggles life handed you, in the past or the future, I was there to lend a hand....or I can be there to help.  Let's Go, Mets!
