Help Aspen's Arm Heal so he can Work and Create Again

Donation protected
EDIT:
the goal has been met, thank you so much! anything extra would still be a HUGE help as I'm still unable to work/make rent money for the next few weeks or more.

Hey there! I'm Aspen, a full-time artist living in Rhode Island. I create 3d models and 2d art as my 9-5, and recently overexerted myself and have been dealing with tendonitis in both arms for about 3 weeks at this point.

I have been trying trying mix combinations of rest, countless exercises and using every kind of computer mouse possible to let me be able to get back to work sooner, and while my left arm is feeling slightly better, I've made little to no improvement on my right arm (which is what I do work with.) My roommate has kindly spotted me for rent the past month, but after all of my other bills I'm barely scraping by. I can't take on any work because even the gentle use of a computer mouse causes flareups. I am currently using a foot pedal for mouse clicks, however most arm positions to hold a mouse or stylus are still hurting. It's extremely frustrating to not even be able to draw for more than a minute at a time, or even play a game to wind down. This injury has taken a toll on my mental health as well as creating art is the main drive I have in my life.

I'm creating this fundraiser so I can hopefully set up an appointment with a physical/massage therapist to help ease my chronic pain, as well as get myself some ergonomic office supplies so I don't aggregate my injury further as I eventually to get back to work.

General costs:
700- Last month's rent
125- drs or phsycial therapy appointment
500- groceries and other living expenses


I really appreciate the help, I feel useless dealing with this injury and seeing my funds disappear while I can't even work to cover costs that would assist in my healing.

Thanks,
-Aspen
