Hi friends,

I’m reaching out for support as I navigate a tough stretch in my ongoing health journey. I live with several chronic conditions — Type 2 Diabetes, Lymphedema, Neuropathy, Cellulitis, and Gangrene — that require constant care, regular treatments, and medications that go far beyond what insurance will cover.

Recently, I developed a serious Pseudomonas infection that required a second surgery. followed by daily changes to my wrappings of Xeroform, betadine, Kerlix, ABD pads and ace wraps. The costs are stacking up quickly — even with insurance, my deductible is nearly $4,800 and will jump to over $6,500 next year. Some medications cost hundreds monthly, and others aren’t covered at all.

Why I’m Fundraising

I’ve set a goal of $20,000 to help cover:

Outstanding hospital bills and medical debt

Daily wrapping changes

Ongoing treatment for my chronic conditions

Rising deductibles and uncovered prescriptions

Living with Diabetes means slower healing and a higher risk of infections like this one. Staying on top of treatment isn’t optional — it’s what keeps me going.

How You Can Help

Your support will help me stay in treatment, manage complications, and avoid further hospitalizations. Every donation — big or small — makes a difference. And if you’re not in a position to give, sharing this fundraiser is just as meaningful.

Thanks for taking the time to read my story and for being part of this journey with me.
