I didn’t want to make this post, but it’s time. I’ve been dealing with ongoing health issues from two car accidents (one in 2022 and one last year), and it’s left me with chronic neck pain and dizziness that have really impacted my day-to-day life. The last few weeks it’s gotten worse and worse, to a point where I’m struggling to work the way I normally would, and my life has felt on pause. If you know me, you know how active I usually am. I love creating, working with my hands, and being involved in my community. Lately, I can barely stand long enough to do the things I love. It’s been heartbreaking to feel my world shrink like this.

I’m trying to get proper treatment, including upper cervical care and specialized imaging, but the costs are overwhelming and I’m not in a position to cover them on my own right now. I miss being active, being creative, and even just feeling like myself again. I haven’t been able to keep up with my leather work or the things I love. I’ve already spoken with a specialist and have a treatment plan ready to begin, but I need help covering the initial costs for evaluation, imaging, and treatment. I’m also trying to stay afloat with basic living expenses while I’m going through this, since my ability to work has been limited.

My goal is to cover the initial diagnostics and enough treatment to see real improvement and regain basic function. Any additional funds will go toward continued care, related medical expenses, and supporting my ability to recover and return to work. I feel embarrassed even asking, but I truly need support right now. Anything helps more than you know, even just sharing this. Thank you for being here.
