A few weeks ago, I broke my finger while attending a softball tournament in Arizona. What started as a fun day quickly turned into a stressful situation, beginning with a visit to the Emergency Room out of state. When I returned home to California, I needed follow-up care at Kaiser Permanente, which led to surgery and several appointments with the orthopedic department. Now, I’m facing ongoing therapy, and each visit comes with a co-pay that adds up fast.

Unfortunately, my insurance didn’t cover much of these expenses, and I now owe medical bills. On top of this, I’m dealing with other personal financial challenges, making it even harder to manage these unexpected costs. I’m doing my best to stay positive, but the stress is real.

Asking for help isn’t easy, but I know I can’t do this alone. Any support to help cover these medical bills would mean the world to me and help ease some of the pressure I’m feeling. I’m incredibly grateful for any contribution, and I promise to pay it forward in the future. Thank you for reading my story and considering a donation.
