Life has thrown me some challenging obstacles, and I find myself in a tough spot right now. I've been out of work due to painful diagnosis of osteoarthritis in my right hip and knee, which requires multiple surgeries to get me back on my feet. The financial strain has been overwhelming, especially after being put out on leave without pay and having my health insurance canceled. My journey has been filled with frustrations, including denials from disability support and a long wait for medical assistance.

Recently, I underwent my first surgery and lost 65 pounds, allowing me to meet the weight requirements for the critical hip replacement surgery. However, the process has taken a toll on my mental and emotional well-being. I'm reaching out because I genuinely need support during this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to me and help ease some of this burden. Thank you for considering my plea.
