Help Ease the Financial Burden of Recovery

Donation protected
On March 6th, 2024, I had a double bypass surgery to eventually get the dual organ transplants due to type 1 diabetes. It was expected for me to be back to work within 2 to 3 months. It's almost at 3 months now and I have a long way to recovery due to complications of wound healing and many surgeries. It's been a very challenging and difficult time in my life and I am financially burdened.

I cannot collect unemployment (I am still employed, just no paychecks since March), and social security denied me. I have done my best with money saved in the past to cover what I could but it's getting close to everything running dry and not seeing a return to work day in the near future. I'm asking if you could please donate any bit to me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you to everyone who has checked in on me, supported me in the past or now, and has listened to me vent about these past few months. I appreciate you all. No amount is too small or large- whatever you can manage is appreciated!! Thank you!
