My name is Julie, and I recently had to undergo emergency elbow surgery for septic bursitis. The recovery process means I won't be able to work for at least a month, which has put me in a really tough spot. As someone who is self-employed, I don't have paid time off or a safety net to fall back on, so this unexpected medical emergency has left me feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how I'll manage my basic expenses.

The funds raised here will go directly toward helping me pay my rent and cover essential bills while I focus on healing. Every little bit of support will make a huge difference in keeping me afloat during this challenging time. I'm truly grateful for any help you can offer, whether it's a donation or simply sharing my story with others who might be able to help.

I'm sorry to ask for help, but being self-employed, I'm not sure what else to do. Your kindness and generosity would mean the world to me as I work toward recovery. Thank you so much for considering supporting me during this difficult moment.

Can't use my left arm due to surgery, and cant lift much with right arm due to midline port for iv antibiotics for the next 2 to 4 weeks

Thank you again
