I completely tore my quadricep tendon, had surgery, and am in the beginning stages of a very lengthy physical therapy program so that I can walk and eventually work again. Because this involves my quadricep tendon instead of just the muscle, the road to recovery involves many months of extremely painful and involved physical therapy. Despite having begun Physical Therapy already, I'm looking at at least another 4 to 6 months before I can even entertain being able to work again. Anyone who knows me knows that I rarely, if ever, ask for help. I'm about out of money at this point and the bills are stacking up, so I have to try something. I thought I would give this a shot.

The funds raised here will go directly toward essential living expenses—covering bills, food, and the basics I need to get by while I focus on recovery. This journey has been humbling, and I’m doing everything I can to get back on my feet and return to work as soon as possible.

I know times are super tough for everyone right now and this is really a bad time to ask for help, however any support would be greatly appreciated. And if you're unable to donate I completely understand, though I would ask that you please share this with everyone you can. Thank you so much for reading and for any help you can offer.
