Hi! I'm Caroline, a dance teacher living in rural Virginia. My partner Rick, a small content creator, avid Pokemon enthusiast, and cat dad, has been dealing with a debilitating shoulder injury that's been steadily worsening over the years. This affects his ability to work, support himself, and pay for healthcare, while also worsening his mental health. He's trying his best to pay off his medical debt, but his injury makes finding a job VERY difficult.

Due to the condition of his shoulder, it's very likely that he will need a shoulder anthroscopic repair which can cost anywhere from roughly $4,000-$20,000. (I'm not entirely sure of the exact shoulder surgery he needs--there are a LOT of different types and the cost varies a ton based on the complexity of the injury.) I just want to give him the cushion he needs to pay his debt off and start building up savings for his surgery when he needs it. Please consider supporting this young southern individual trying to take care of himself <3
