Help me get surgery

Donation protected
Ill try to keep it short and sweet , but my story goes like this. Going to drama school was always going to be hard for me it was even harder. I decided i wanted to be a singer probably when i was 3 years old but i didnt chose dance until i was 17, because of this i wasnt good enough to go to any top drama schools and so i was over the moon to hear i got into a smaller one however i had to decline my place when i learn it was going to cost £31,500 without any student finance. I declined my place and so was offered a £15,000 scholarship for my singing and so I took the challenge of paying £15k out of my pocket so i could learn what i loved. The odds were stacked against me , i lost one job , another closed and so i had to travel between work and uni driving over 3 hours every weekend to work to pay for the course. In 2023 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and told that i should stop dancing and know my limits .... But i wasnt ready to quit. Some days where so incredibly hard and i couldn't even get out of bed and i had absolutely no support from my uni and was made to feel like i was lazy and faking , i was forced to come in and dance and there were days i would throw up or pass out from exhaustion and again was told i was being dramatic. Days when my whole body would shake and i would go across the room my eyes streaming and ignored. I had fractured shins for a whole year and was forced to dance in excruciating pain. But i still didnt quit. In 2023 i had a chest infection and should have been on vocal rest but i was forced to sing in a show for 5 weeks and that lead to me damaging my voice beyond rest. 2 years later i am now on a waiting list for surgery thats a 50/50 chance on weather I can speak let alone sing ever again. As someone whos always wanted to sing thats the worst news i could be told. Ive been on the wait list over a year and theres no time frame in order for me to start my dream career as a performer I need a surgery that is £8k. I was also put under strict rules that essentially lead me to having an eating disorder resulting in me being diagnosed with gastropareisis and i can no longer eat solid food like a normal person. The surgery I need is also £8,00+ and is not funded on the NHS and so im on a waitlist for testing in london . Without a normal diet i cannot perform safely.
Due to the constant harassment , bullying , torment and abuse that i suffered for 3 years ended with me being forced out of my accommodation leaving me homeless and with no choice but to leave my uni course 4 months before I was meant to graduate, leaving me with a whopping £20,000 bill as i lost my scholarship from not completing the course. After everything i put my body through and my mental health suffered more than ive ever known and now it was all for nothing. So if youve read this far im asking you please help me out so i can start doing what i love more than anything , performing and living . Please share around and donate what you can ❤️
