UPDATE MAY 12, 2026

Trying to navigate healing, motherhood, business, and real life all at the same time hasn’t been easy… but I’m doing my best. I honestly thought I could push through this weekend without asking for help and just “figure it out” on my own. After returning to work Friday and reopening Sunday, my body quickly reminded me that I’m still very much in recovery. I’m not giving up — I’m just taking things day by day. To everyone who has donated, shared my fundraiser, reposted my flyers, checked on me, prayed for me, or even just sent encouraging words… thank you. Y’all truly have no idea how much it’s helping me mentally and emotionally right now. I’m currently at $2,157 of my $7,000 goal. Every share, donation, prayer, and repost genuinely helps more than you know.

UPDATE May 7, 2026:

Hi, I’m Shy, owner of Piercing Euphoria

I’m currently navigating a serious health journey involving MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and other neurological concerns that recently required hospitalization and ongoing monitoring.

Although I’ve been discharged, I’m still healing and doing my best to remain medically stable while preparing for the next steps in my treatment journey, including alternative therapies and travel for care.

As a parent and business owner, this has impacted every part of my life—my health, my ability to consistently work, maintain my suite, care for my son, and keep the business I’ve worked so hard to build.

Due to financial responsibilities I will be returning to work sooner than what has been advised but in a very limited capacity,I am still actively raising funds to help cover:

• Travel arrangements for my son’s care while I receive treatment

• Travel for treatment and healing

• Travel back home after treatment

• Rent for my suite during recovery periods

• Medical and treatment-related expenses

• Basic living expenses while healing

My goal is $7,000.

This has not been easy for me to share publicly, but I truly appreciate every donation, prayer, share, and kind word. Your support has helped relieve an incredible amount of pressure during one of the hardest periods of my life.

Thank you all so much for continuing to support me through this journey

I’m raising funds to help cover:

• Travel arrangements so my son can be safely cared for while I’m away

• Travel for myself to receive treatment (Costa Rica, Ecuador, Thailand, Columbia South Korea or the Dominican Republic)

• Travel back to Atlanta after treatment

• Rent for my suite during recovery ($350/week × 5 weeks)

• Medical treatment costs

My goal is $7,000.

This is not easy for me to ask, but I truly need support so I can focus on healing without losing my stability.

If you’ve ever supported me or my business, I would deeply appreciate any help—whether that’s a donation, a share, or kind words.

Thank you for helping me get through this.

— Shy
