Hi, I'm Zarayah Weissrock and I need help.
I have been unable to work full time since July of 2025. I am doing gig work as I can, I am walking dogs, tried to sell my clothes, helping clean and organize, trying to sell items on Facebook- but at the end of the day I am falling short.
My life feels like a country song, but my car is broken down, I am immunocompromised, working with a care team of nearly 15 doctors to help find, understand, manage and treat my diagnoses. At this time, I am diagnosed with Seronegative Inflammatory Polyarthritis.
What does that mean? I have so many kinds of arthritis that can't just diagnose me with rheumatoid. So that's a real treat.
I have bone spurs in my back, cysts on my hands and wrist, chronic fatigue, a new found problem with migraines; I have neuropathy in my hands, brain fog all the time- and none of this touches my mental health, which has been failing my entire life from big T trauma.
I have applied for jobs that I can walk/ride a bike to. I have asked to buy a bike off anyone I know. I am getting my car looked at (again) next week but it's likely going to be scrapped. I'm behind on every bill I have. I am begging for gigs, I have swallowed my pride and asked for help several times and this is my last ditch effort to try to get back on my feet.
I have applied for disability, but we all know how difficult that is. I am filing for bankruptcy, which is unfortunately not free; I am trying to regain control of my finances, find reliable transportation, make sure my dogs are fed and maintain good standing with the absurd amount of doctors appointments I am having to attend.
I have 2 MRIs on my back coming up, pulmonary, urology, rheumatology, ortho, OBGYN, psych, trauma therapy and a referral to cardio- all scheduled within the next month.
I don't know how much I need, I don't know what I need at this point. But I feel like I'm drowning and I just need someone to throw me a life preserver. I've been trying to maintain a good attitude, but it's been hard. I'm going to shoot for the moon and hope to just land on my feet with this gofundme. I am so disheartened that I am in this position and that I have to beg for money, but I am at my max of what I can possibly do.
