Hi, my name is Caitlin, and I’m fundraising because my health has made it impossible for me to work right now and is at an all-time low. I’ve been struggling with multiple chronic medical conditions, including ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), legal blindness, severe temperature regulation issues, migraines, autoimmune hypothyroidism, Raynaud’s disease, orthostatic hypotension, and ongoing gastrointestinal issues. These conditions cause frequent nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, and pain, making daily life and holding a job very challenging.

Recently, my symptoms have worsened, leading to more hospital visits, higher medical bills, and increased difficulty covering basic living expenses. Even part-time work has become too physically demanding, and I am in the process of applying for disability benefits, which can take months to process, and to which I’ve been denied before.

Your support would go directly toward: paying current and upcoming hospital and doctor bills, covering medications and treatments, helping with utilities, and groceries while I’m unable to work.

Any amount, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in helping me stay stable during this difficult time. If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser means just as much.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting me in any way you can.
