Hi everyone,

I never thought I’d be writing something like this, but life has a way of catching us off guard, sometimes in the most unexpected ways. About a month ago, I injured my back doing something as ordinary as cleaning out the cat’s litter box. What started as a sharp pain quickly turned into something much more serious.

After an MRI, I learned I have multilevel disc bulges that are pressing on nerves and causing foraminal stenosis, in short, a lot of pain and limited movement. Thankfully, nothing requires surgery right now, but the recovery is still a long road ahead. I’m currently on medical leave from work (I’m a nurse), attending physical therapy twice a week, and focusing on healing as best as I can.

Being unable to work has been incredibly hard, physically, emotionally, and financially. I’m raising funds to help cover medical bills, rehab costs, and basic living expenses while I recover and work toward getting back on my feet.

It’s humbling to ask for help, but I truly appreciate every bit of support, whether it’s a donation, a share, or just some encouraging words. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for helping me through this difficult chapter.

With gratitude,

Kim
