Hello, my name is Alexandra Gabriel Carpenter, also known as Clove. Thank you for taking a moment to look at my story.

I am 19 years old and last year I was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome on top of depression that I’ve struggled with for most of my life. For me, having POTS means a rapid heart rate, making me feel like I’m running just from standing, as well as frequent dizziness that puts me at risk of fainting, and shaking that comes with severely low blood pressure.

Recently I’ve been prescribed a service dog to enhance my day-to-day functionality. I had to quit my job, and even doordashing on the side has become harder. Any money donated will be used purely towards the cost of the dog and its wellbeing, including veterinary care, training, and supplies. I have the support of my family, ensuring proper care no matter what, but I’m urgently asking for your support as well.

Any amount you’re willing to contribute is appreciated beyond words. If you’re unable to donate, it would mean the world to me if you would share my fundraiser with your friends or family. Thank you so much! ❤️
