Dear friends, family, and kind supporters,

The past two years have been incredibly difficult as I’ve been dealing with ongoing medical issues that have taken a heavy toll—physically, emotionally, and financially. As the expenses have continued to build, it has become harder to manage everyday bills, medical costs, and even basic needs.

With winter approaching, I’m especially worried about being able to care for my horses and ensure they have enough hay to get through the cold months. I know the horses are a cost but they have been my peace and therapy over all these years.

On top of that, Christmas is nearing, and I’m hoping to make the season a little brighter despite the challenges. I also have legal bills that have added another layer of strain. Not just financially but emotionally.

I have been blessed to have health insurance and I’m still on long term disability while I wait for social security benefits. Without that I definitely would have lost everything that I have worked so hard for and have been so fortunate to have in my life.

I’m reaching out with humility to ask for help. Any donation—no matter the size—would make a meaningful difference. Your support would go directly toward everyday living expenses, medical and legal bills, Christmas needs, and feeding and caring for the animals throughout the winter.

some of the medical issues I face are,
A brain tumor, that is non-cancerous! So thankful for that. I had my first surgery in November 2023, that was successful, but the tumor remains in my brain which causes memory, cognitive and vision issues.

I was experiencing a lot of pain in my back and legs, I still have to wait to see the spine specialist at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. But have found osteoarthritis in both of my hips. And in my spine, degenerative disc disease. Along with Neuromuscular disease.This all causes me pain and mobility issues at times.

I also have an appointment with the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida for testing to see if I have some form of epilepsy. And while I’m there, I will see the spine specialist as well as the neurology department for more cognitive testing. At the moment, I have this scheduled for a trip in February, I originally had it scheduled to be in December, but I had to reschedule due to financially not being able to afford a trip to the clinic.

Even through all the struggles and setbacks, I’ve held onto a good attitude, kept a grateful heart, and continued to believe in a positive outcome, no matter how hard the days have been.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any help you’re able to offer. Your kindness truly means more than you know.

With gratitude,
Beth
