Help Alex Recover From Chronic Illness and Burnout
Donation protected
Hello! I'm Alex! I've been dealing with chronic health issues for a long time, which have already caused a huge reduction in my ability to work, but in the past year my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has increased considerably in severity to the point where I will start experiencing extreme tiredness and occasional pain if I stand for more than 30 minutes at a time. As a result I am having to take some time off work in order to recover and work with my doctor to figure out management and treatment strategies for my condition.
Washington's state medical leave program (PMFL) is able to give me some supplemental income, but my work in food service along with the claims only being a percentage of my usual wages, combined with rising rent and groceries means that I will need assistance making ends meet for the 12 weeks that I am on medical leave. I also had to replace my computer after my old one started to die, which also adds to my expenses.
As usual, thank you so much for any help! And please let me know if there's anything I can do in return! I am more than happy to give people plants and seeds, or even little doodles!
