Help Becky Grajeda get through Long Covid!

Donation protected
I'm Becky Grajeda, and in November 2020 I tested positive for Covid-19. While I recovered from the worst of my illness, other symptoms lingered on in what is known as Long Covid. This means that I currently have about 20% of my normal energy levels as I did before coming down with covid. I also suffer from fatigue, brain fog, gastrointestinal issues, and dizziness.

I'm normally an energetic person. I'm an avid cyclist and love jogging. But now I struggle to finish 30 minutes of dishwashing. Long covid has also taken its toll on my normally positive outlook on life, as these symptoms have persisted for 18 months now and severely impacted my ability to function normally.

I have a great team of doctors helping me. I go to vestibular therapy twice a week for my dizziness. In September I'll see a cardiologist about my fatigue. Hopefully they'll refer me to cardio physical therapy, so that, along with daily exercise, my stamina and energy levels will improve.

I currently work 8-12 hours per week at a flower shop and cat sit and make art for extra income. I'm currently waiting on a decision from Social Security as to whether I'll get Disability Insurance. While my family has been helping me, it's been a serious strain on them. To ease this burden, I am asking for your help.

Your donation will help me with:
1. Apartment rent
2. Car payment
3. Utility bills
4. Cat food and vet visits

I’m confident my health will get better and that I will be able to work full time again, I’m just not sure when that will be. Until then, please consider donating.

Thank you!
