<div>Hello, my name is MJ Clark.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On <strong>August 22nd, </strong>I was riding my scooter home from work through the lovely (but let’s be real, rough) streets of New Orleans. While trying to avoid a manhole, I hit it head on. The<strong> impact completely ruptured my ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) and tore my ALL (Anterolateral Ligament). Both are crucial for stability and movement </strong>— making views for the long-term on being well, difficult.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>If you know me, you know I wear many hats:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Preschool teacher at Nurture Nursery
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bartender at Latrobe’s on Royal
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nanny to several amazing little ones
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Youth Empowerment Chair for Black Pride NOLA
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Founder of Where the Femmes Frolick, a new membership club uplifting queer women and building community in New Orleans
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Physical movement is central to all the work I do — caring for kids, serving, organizing, and creating safe spaces for others. That’s why the past month of learning to walk again pre-surgery has been one of the hardest seasons of my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even with insurance, I was against surgery, but my physical therapist discussed with me the long term effects of not having both ligaments and years later, have more potential issues. I also worried about being under anesthesia for so long, the long recovery time, and — hardest of all — having to depend on others when I’m used to doing everything myself. Recovery looks like:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Surgery - November 2025 then 3 weeks off work (minimum)</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>6 weeks in a full leg brace</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Up to 9 months of healing and physical therapy</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As I shared my situation with my community, many suggested crowdfunding. So here I am — asking for support with rent, utilities, and transportation to physical therapy during recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>My Goal:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>min $3,000 – covers rent and utilities for 3 months</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>max </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>$5,000 – helps with additional needs like phone bill, transportation, toiletries, and other essentials from December–February</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ll also have a meal train during recovery for those who prefer to support in that way: <a href="https://mealtrain.com/gz29k8" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://mealtrain.com/gz29k8</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This injury has forced me to slow down, but I know I don’t have to go through it alone. If you’re able to contribute, share, or send love my way — I am deeply grateful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Thank you so much,</em></strong>
</div>
<div><strong><em>MJ </em></strong>
</div>
