Hi, my name is Ahnna, and I’m reaching out with hope and humility. I’ve been diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) — a chronic, debilitating pain condition that has completely changed the way I live my life. Every day is a battle against pain that most people can’t see but that affects everything I do.

Before CRPS took hold, I worked hard to support my family and took pride in contributing financially and emotionally. Unfortunately, the pain has taken away my ability to work consistently, and it has been heartbreaking to lose not only my independence but also the role I once had in helping provide for the people I love most.

There is hope, though. Ketamine infusions have shown incredible promise for CRPS patients like me. They can help reset the nervous system, reduce the unrelenting pain, and give me a real chance to return to work and to life again. Unfortunately, these treatments are not covered by insurance, and the out-of-pocket cost is overwhelming for my family to manage on our own. They are $750 each, and I will need 2 back to back to start. After that its up to my body, I may need a "maintenance" infusion once every several months, years or even *fingers crossed* never.

Any additional funds will be saved for future treatments, medications, or other things that help me "get on my feet."

I’m asking for help to make these treatments possible. With your help, I have a real chance to regain my health, return to work, and once again be able to support my family instead of being limited by this condition.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to relief, healing, and independence. If you can’t donate, sharing my story means just as much.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can give.

With gratitude,

Ahnna
