Hello Friends! I am Paul Struck, for those of you who don't know me. After decades of professional dance performance, I am now a massage therapist and energy healer.

In March of 2025, I contracted a urinary tract infection (UTI) that became resistant to antibiotics. It was discovered that there were kidney stones harboring the infection. I underwent a procedure to remove the stones, which was successful. Unfortunately, some bacteria made its way into my blood and I developed sepsis. I spent several days in SICU and during that time, two more stones were discovered, as well as a blockage of the ureter. Another surgery was performed to repair the ureter (laparoscopic pyeloplasty) and take out the remaining stones. Success again! I had been on antibiotics for six months and finished the last of them recently, only to develop C.diff. So, one more round of antibiotics to kill off that bacteria, and I will be able to leave this health challenge in the past.

Why am I asking for help? Fortunately, it is not medical expenses as you might assume. During this period, I have lost about two months of work as my body recovers and heals. We all know, "no work, no pay." Due to the loss of income, I have fallen behind on my expenses. I am asking for funds to help recover those lost wages. Any donation of any size would be profoundly appreciated.
