Well, what can I say.. I hate asking for help. But having a broken leg, I’ve learned that sometimes I just have to. These last few weeks have been extremely difficult on my mental health, especially. Luckily my recovery is going well, bones are healing, pain is low, but I am absolutely struggling. I was holding out, hoping I’d figure out some solution on my own, but I’m at a loss. Many of you may know I own Coupeville Prairie Perks, the best place around to get a cup of coffee. I’m stuck between listening to my doctor’s recommendations, where I’d be out at least 3-6 more weeks, on top of the 3 work weeks I’ve already missed, essentially watch my business go under, or go back early because of financial necessity, risking more damage to myself. I’ve always had to choose work over healing, when I hurt my left foot/ankle last summer I returned to work asap, before I should have, and I still have issues with what’s now my good foot. I’m still financially trying to recover from my intestinal surgery in October (and all the specialist appointments leading up to it). I’m asking for help to stay on my feet. Well, at least the one, kinda-good, one that I got haha. I don’t have a lot of options, no good ones for sure, so I figured I’d reach out to my community who has been so supportive to me over the years. Thank you to the friends and customers who have dropped cards or gifts off at the coffee stand, I appreciate you thinking of me and trying to keep me entertained while I’m stuck sitting. This money would help me pay my bills for the next month, keep food on the table, and give me a chance to rest without as much stress. If you’re able to donate, I appreciate it so much, I know times are tough on everyone. If you want to drop anything off at Coupeville Prairie Perks, we’re still running milk orders and all that jazz, so I’d be able to get it. If you want to help support the stand, buy some coffee, sweet treats, gift cards, etc.. And if you want to think some positive thoughts and send them my way, I could sure use that too. I’m just ready to be back with my community, slinging some joe.
