Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out today with a humble request for support during a very challenging time in my life.

Recently, I’ve been experiencing recurring and unexplained fainting episodes, which have significantly impacted my ability to work and manage daily life. They have caused extreme fatigue, pain, brain fog, migraines, zoning out, and made everyday functions almost impossible. After multiple medical evaluations and ongoing testing, it’s become clear that I need to take a medical leave of absence to prioritize my health and recovery. I am still awaiting to hear back from neurology, cardiology, and rheumatology specialists for them to dive deeper into what is causing these sudden onset episodes.

As you can imagine, this unexpected situation has brought with it not only physical and emotional strain, but also a growing financial burden. I’m currently facing difficulties covering basic living expenses as well as medical costs, including appointments, tests, medications, and transportation.

That’s why I’ve set up this fundraiser—so I can focus on healing without the added stress of financial insecurity. If you are able, I would be deeply grateful for any donation, no matter how small. Every contribution makes a difference and helps me move one step closer to stability and recovery.

If you’re unable to give financially, sharing this message with others who may be able to help is also a huge support. And keeping me and your family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for being part of my community. Your kindness and generosity truly mean the world to me.

With gratitude,

Chelsea Carter
