This is for the love of my life...

I have never had a harder time writing something. I've tried in so many ways to avoid "this" but, here I am.

Her name is Wohali, she is only 24, and we have been together for five years now...each one unfortunately getting harder than the last.

In short she is sick and has been getting worse. Frankly, I’m running out of ways to keep us afloat..out of ways to help her on my own.

We’ve been fighting fairly quietly for a long time. Her health has meant regular hospital visits, unanswered diagnoses that we are now finally getting some confirmation on AFTER FIVE YEARS , and long days where all I can do is sit by her side and pray she makes it through the night without waking up in pain or sick again, at worse a ER trip to the hospital...

I’ve kept working my normal 8-5 while trying to learn other trades and "side hustles" tbh, but the truth is im at the end of my rope and we’re drowning.

I’m not asking because I think our story is more important than anyone else's.

I know a lot of people are struggling and even worse than we are.

I’m asking because I love her. And I’m willing to beg for her if it gives us even a chance at building a future. If you have ever dealt with endometrosis, fibromyalgia, POTs, EDS, freaking Lupus...its just so much and I don't know how to do this alone anymore.

We’ve exhausted nearly everything beyond our savings, credit, favors, assistance programs. I’m trying to delay quitting my job as long as I can, but her condition is making that decision for us quicker than I expected at her age. If worse comes to shove and I have to quit we will at least qualify for government assistance again but given the state of how little we already have Im not sure that's going to hold long term. I’m exhausted honestly guys. All this aside I do still believe there’s a way forward, even if I can’t see it clearly from here.

Cover medical costs, out-of-pocket treatments, and medications

Afford specialist consultations and testing outside our state this would be for her endo and epilepsy frankly. We still don't have solid diagnoses aside from many a-physician suggesting EDS, Endo etc...

Support rent, food, and bills while I transition into full-time care. Im planning to be able to bridge this myself and get part-time work if/when needed.

Give us a little room to work out transportation and medical fees associated with possible specialists/private care frankly... If we can even come up with an extra 1,000-1,500$ that would help us jump ahead by months.

If you can give, thank you.

If you can’t, please share this with someone who might.

If you think this is ridiculous, I don't blame you. I am able bodied and others have been in worse situations. I'm over "begging" or "asking for help" whatever, you want to call it. I genuinely pray you never end up in a similar situation. And thank you for reading.

I know this world can be cruel. But I also know it can be kind, sometimes.

This is me asking for kindness with a big ol' "im sorry for bothering" at the end.

If you have any questions, suggestions, medical advice, legal advice, or help of any kind please don't hold back. I am at the point of no return and seek any advice, help and goodwill I can get for my fiance.

With all the gratitude and love in my heart,
