I have recently been diagnosed with a meningioma tumor and Chiari Malformation 1. In January I had brain/cranio/spinal surgery to help alleviate the pain from Chiari; there is no cure. I am left with debilitating vertigo, fatigue, and weakness. I don't qualify for any medical assistance at this time and my living situation is unstable as well.

I despise asking for help. I haven't been in or thought that I would face a situation like this. It's embarrassing and humiliating but I don't see any other choice at the moment. With medical bills pouring in, future treatment for the tumor needed, and an uncertain housing situation I do this. My cat rescue is a huge issue as well because I have multiple special needs cats that are unadoptable. Their security depends on me and how I handle all this.

I refuse to put out to the public the details of my personal issues but will answer questions through email. I have made some terrible decisions in life and I'm paying the price of being naive. I'm just trying desperately to keep my head above water, take care of my health problems, and maintain the roof over my head for the cats who didn't have any say so in this.

Any amount helps. Shares help. I'm begging the public to help me get through this.
