Support for Chrystal D

Hello, thank you for taking the time to visit my page.

I’m absolutely uncomfortable being vulnerable and asking for assistance. I know times are tight and tough for everybody; however, I felt like it would be better to act now versus before I get really behind. on the bottom I have listed other ways to help. And I will be listing some things for sale on marketplace.

The last couple of years have been very challenging for me financially. Between health issues and home repair issues, I’ve really been in the corner. Through the years, many people have helped me, mostly friends as I don’t have a lot of family. I have appreciated every single penny and thought.

A couple of months ago, I started experiencing extreme pain in my knee, but I brushed it off thinking it would get better. It turns out that without surgery, it won’t get better. I had to take immediate medical leave from work, going into a month that I was actually already kind of behind. It’s embarrassing to admit, but it’s the truth. I will be out for several months as they can’t do the surgery until June 17th, and then I will have recovery time after that. My hope is that I can find something light duty at work to get back quicker.

I’ve reached a crossroad where I just need to directly ask for help. I didn’t say anything last year, but I went through an extreme mental health episode, was out of work, and it cost me about $11,000 in total. I’m still recovering from that. I didn’t really tell everybody the full scope of what was going on with me, and now everything has just snowballed between vet bills and just life. My oven is broken, my dishwasher is broken; it’s like everything is broken lol. I feel like I’m drowning. not to mention what the co-pays of the actual surgery are going to be on top of it.

I’ve had people ask how they can help. I’m very, very thankful that my best friend and her husband are being extremely supportive, and she’s going to come out for my first week of surgery. That is a huge help.

I do keep a stockpile of things at the house, so I have some of the things I need, but I’m going to have a hard time covering my bills. I have no problem going to the food bank; unfortunately, due to funding cuts, several of them are now closed.

If people do want to help out and don’t want to do GoFundMe, these are some options:

I can give the online information to help with utilities/power directly to the city of High Point. At this point, every tiny bit helps.

I have some money prepaid at the vet already for Skittles, which is good. He uses Skeet Club Animal Hospital in High Point, North Carolina. Any credit there will be used either for him or the cats; they are behind on things. I have cut corners pretty much everywhere I can.

I was asked if there were other options then GoFundMe because of the fee they take out from people that know me well so that’s why I’m putting this additional information. They won’t allow you to put your email or phone number on there so there’s two of them that don’t have that information
