Help me survive while I’m not able to work

UPDATE: My eyes and legs have been getting much worse. Some of you have witnessed this in person while during a text message is to making sense and type: “didjfjkkjjjkssbdbtnmdont…” there was a clerical error prolonging me finding out if I’ll end up getting any kind of help money wise from being on s medical leave of absence but so far still nothing. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you all being so generous and helping me out. I am once again asking for y’all to give if you can and just share this post anywhere you can think of. It’s my means of survival right now. Thank you, Love Kim

Hi, my name is Kim and I’ve been sick my whole life. One morning in June of 2022 I woke up and couldn’t catch my breath. I wasn’t too worried, thinking maybe I had hiked too much the day before. I went to work unable to hold a conversation, talking like I had just run a marathon. Work sent me home, I went to urgent care who immediately sent me to a hospital via Ambulance. Several tests later I was diagnosed with Churg-Strauss which is a rare autoimmune disorder. My treatment options were explained to me as heavy doses of steroids and a shot I need to self administer every 4-8 weeks. Unable to keep up with bills due to missing work so frequently I was forced to move from Colorado to Ohio to be closer to family and hopefully receive better medical treatment. Since moving here I have been going back and forth with job and family services as well as my union (I work for UPS) to try and receive any kind of financial support as well as medical insurance that covers what my employer insurance won’t. I’m unable to hold a job because on top of churg Strauss (which is fatal) I have eosinophilic gastroenteritis which causes me to have severe stomach pains and vomit several times a week if not daily. Trust me, if I knew any other way to get by right now I would try that route rather than asking for money on here but it’s gotten to that point. Anything helps as I literally have zero income and the bills don’t stop for anyone as you all know. If you can give I greatly appreciate it, if you’d share this so maybe someone else can that would be amazing also. I’ve always been taught to work for your money and not to expect anything for free… until you can’t. And that’s where I’m at right now so if you could help me make it until there some kind of hope on the horizon I would greatly appreciate it. Anyway that’s my story. If you have any questions, I don’t mind answering them. Thanks for reading my story and thanks even more if you’re able to help. I truly appreciate any help I can get. Crazy how life can change one day to the next and you lose what you’ve worked so hard for. Tell the people you love that you care about them. You never know what can happen tomorrow. Thanks again

Love, Kim
