Help Tess Make it to Disability

Donation protected
Hello All,

I am reaching out to ask for help. I feel nauseous as I write this but I know it's something that would help me greatly. I am asking for help getting myself through the next several months as I enter into a new season of my life.

For some context in the spring of 2021 I was diagnosed with a Chonic Illness that. After a particularly bad flair in 2024 I left my lighting design career behind, something that I loved so much. In April 2026 decided to apply for long term federal disability.

Work just isn't a viable option and the disability application requires me to completely abstain from working even when waiting the six month to a year MINIMUM for benefits to be approved and allocated benefits.

Any donations to help me survive the unknown period would mean the world to me.
