Help Tara Recover From Chronic Illness & Surgery

Hey everyone!

Thank you so much for your support. It's been an insanely long road to make any progress in my health, but I'm now 16 days post-cardiothoracic surgery to remove metals that were causing my chronic illness, and I feel better than I have in 20 years.

Thanks to a dear person and friend who always believed there was a root cause to my illnesses, that we could find and treat, I'm going to be able to live my life after years as a homebound, highly limited sick person.

Living with chronic illness for two decades has shaped me in ways I can't quite explain yet. Today I just want to say thank you for donating when I first asked for help in 2022. It gave me hope and support at a very dark time.

I was suffering from CFS, fibromyalgia, and autoimmune issues including Hashimoto's. I became almost completely nonfunctional, had to declare bankruptcy and depend on others financially, and though I could take care of myself basically, needed a lot of support at home from family members.

I am accepting donations to help support me as a recover my health completely, and slowly get back on my feet. I still have to have a titanium tooth implant removed and replaced with porcelain to fully recover, so any donations will help me as I move toward this next goal.

I'd also love to take the weight off my family members that have been supporting me through the recent, hardest years of this.

Your support and sharing is so appreciated.
