Hi, my name is Billie Jo, and this is not easy for me to write. I’ve always been someone who takes care of others, but right now I’m in a place where I truly need support.

I recently underwent surgery, and during that process, doctors had to do extensive repairs which has left my recovery longer and they found an area that needs further evaluation. Unfortunately, they were unable to complete the biopsy at that time, and I now have to return for another procedure. While I’m staying hopeful and praying for a clean result, the uncertainty and additional medical steps have been overwhelming.

As a licensed massage therapist, my work depends entirely on my physical ability to show up and provide hands-on care. Taking time off for surgery and recovery means I am unable to earn income during this time. On top of that, I am still responsible for my regular expenses, including rent, transportation, and daily living costs.

Right now I’ve already been out of my desk job for over 7 weeks and I haven’t been able to massage for much longer then that.

I’m doing everything in my power to not lose my brand new massage office, or my car which would it make it even harder to get back on my feet.

While I did prepare and was able to cover my first two month of bills fully but I was hoping to be able to be back to work by now and now it’s a new month and now I’m behind on payments.

I created this GoFundMe to help bridge that gap while I focus on healing and getting through this next month. Any support—whether it’s a donation, sharing this page, or simply keeping me in your thoughts and prayers—means more to me than I can express.

I truly believe in the power of healing, community, and showing up for one another. Thank you for being here for me during this time.

With gratitude,

Billie Jo ❤️‍
