Hi, I’m Erica. In the last four years, I’ve had 7 surgeries and been diagnosed with multiple chronic illnesses, including Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, chronic Epstein-Barr Virus, narcolepsy, long COVID, and spinal disease. These conditions have made it impossible for me to work while I wait—painfully—for disability approval.

Right now, I need help covering essentials like rent, food, and medical care so I don’t lose stability while preparing for more surgeries.

Your donation goes directly toward:

• Rent & groceries (keeping me safe and stable)

• Urgent medical costs & treatments

• ️ Recovery prep for upcoming spinal surgery & tonsillectomy

Even $25 helps cover a week of groceries, and $100 helps with a doctor visit or prescriptions.

Without support, I risk falling into debt at a time when all of my energy needs to go toward healing. This isn’t just about bills—it’s about having a fighting chance to recover and survive until disability support comes through.

Every donation, no matter the size, reminds me I’m not fighting this alone.

If you can’t give, sharing this link in a community group or with a friend makes a huge difference. Your kindness is the bridge keeping me afloat.
