For those who don't know, my name is Dani. This past February, I had an operation to remove endometriosis, a disease that has affected me for over a decade. During the recovery time I was unable to work, resulting in lost income. My surgery was a first step towards managing my pain, but it's crucial that I go to physical therapy to alleviate the pain I've experienced for most of my life.

Additionally, I have been battling anorexia this year, an illness that was causing medical complications. I made the choice to get help through residential and outpatient programs, both of which have helped me on my path to recovery. In order to seek help, I needed to take additional time away from my work, and I will need to continue to see a dietician to pursue long-term recovery.

I need help to get back on my feet and continue to face these challenges. I would be incredibly grateful for any contributions that would help me defer these financial costs.
