Hi friends, I'm Lee <3

I've been trying really hard to get back on my feet but I've reached a point where I really need to ask for help.

Basically, the past year has left me with serious health problems, unemployment, a huge financial hole I'm trying to climb out of and no saftey net to fall back on.

I recently was rushed to the ER for sudden, intense pelvic pain. I have been dealing with a chronic issue of extreme cramping, but I had never felt it this bad before and I was on the verge of passing out. The doctors did a CT scan and found that I have multiple large fibroids- tumors, basically- that are so big they are expanding my uterus and now pressing against my vital organs.

I've already had surgery to get these tumors removed before, but they keep growing back. Because of this and how I don't want to continue living my life through this pain and undergoing surgery after surgery to cut them out each time they grow, I've decided to remove my uterus entierly. Trying to navigate my health while unemployed and under this much financial pressure and stress has been really frightening. I'm doing whatever I can to become employed even with my condition.

My goal is to raise 7K to help bring my debt balance down and give myself breathing room that I desperately need. I've been trying to chip away at a 17K debt that has accumulated from medical visits, surgery, and an emergency move out of the state.

My partner's income is keeping a roof over our heads and covering bills and immediate survival needs, but there's essentially nothing left after each pay check to make any progress on this debt.

I've reached out to the debtors and was able to claim hardship which has temporarily paused the interest on the card- I'm trying to use that window to make as much progress as possible, but the hardship period ends in a few months.

I genuinely mean it when i say even $1 would matter so much. I just need help to rebuild while I get treatment and look for stable work.

Thank you so much for reading. If you can, please consider donating or sharing this <3 I really really appreciate it.
