Hi, my name is Chauntel. Last week, I found myself in the ICU, fighting for my health. My kidneys are struggling, and the latest bloodwork shows that things are slowly improving. On top of that, I’ve been diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia in both of my lungs. It’s been a tough road, and my doctors have advised that I take at least a month off from work to give my body the time it needs to heal.
I feel incredibly blessed to have my family by my side during this challenging time. Helping me and my baby boy August. Their love and support have been a true comfort. However, with the need to rest and recover, I’m unable to work, and that means I’m facing a financial strain. I’m reaching out to friends, family, and kind strangers for help to cover some of my medical expenses, rent, and utilities while I focus on healing.
Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to me, and my toddler, August. I’m so grateful for your support, and I can’t thank you enough for helping me through this difficult time.
With heartfelt thanks,
Chauntel
Edit- To add insult to injury, I have no medical insurance and have no way to pay for my follow up medical care, additionally I will be getting a $250,000 hospital bill. I make just too much for major assistance with this bill but not enough to ever pay it.
