Help Alyssa with expenses from hand surgery!

Hi friends! This is very difficult for me to do, but I’m in need of some assistance. I have to have surgery on my dominant hand to remove two tumors that are interfering with the nerves in my hand as well as general function and mobility. Yes, this is the hand I tattoo with…

I’ll keep it brief. At age 14 I was diagnosed with Type 3 Neurofibromatosis (Schwannomatosis). This disease causes the sheath covering my nerves to overgrow themselves and become tumors. These tumors, though benign, can be very painful and cause loss of motor function. This is starting to be the case with the two in my right hand.

(Tumors in palm and in between pointer finger and thumb)

In order to remove the tumors, a specialist neurosurgeon has to operate around the nerve the tumor is growing on. Because of this, I need to take time off of work, not only to heal but to regain movement and strength in my hand.

As we all know, times are hard and life is expensive. Having to take a month away from tattooing honestly sucks. I’m humbly asking for donations to help pay for medical bills from the surgery and general living expenses for the time I have to take off work.

I tremendously appreciate all of you who have been supportive and thank you all from the bottom of my heart! ♥️
