Hi. Let me tell you about the picture. That’s my face during a flare up of some skin allergy and I still don’t know the cause. That’s on a calmer day because other times, my face gets puffy and itchy and tender. I’ve paid a lot this year in medical expenses related to labs, appointments, and consultations trying to figure out the root cause. The absences from work caused me to drain my sick day balance so every time I’m out for an appointment, I don’t get paid for those hours.

I created this fundraiser to help me pay down medican debts, especially so I can dee my therapist and psychiatrist again. Though I finally met the deductive and visits would now be zero dollars, I still owe from visits from before I let the deductible. I need access to them so I can continue to improve my health after last year’s hospitalization.

Brothers and sisters, I’m tired. My current paycheck gets drained after I pay down bills and debts. I haven’t been able to pay off these medical invoices while also tending to personal needs like gasoline and groceries. I don’t want to give up and I must humbly ask for some help because I’m so tired.
