My name is Bailey. I’m 23 years old, working full-time as a first responder while also attending nursing school full-time. I’ve always dedicated my life to helping others, but now I’m the one who needs help.

Since January 2025, I’ve been living with a damaged eardrum that hasn’t healed. It’s caused constant ear and sinus infections, along with worsening hearing loss. Little by little, I’m losing the sounds that matter most—conversations with family and friends, laughter, and even the quiet moments in nature.

I’ve been saving everything I can, but between the cost of surgery and the financial strain of recovery, it’s more than I can manage alone. I’m asking for help so I can heal, protect my hearing, and continue pursuing the career I’ve worked so hard for.

Anything truly makes a difference
