Hi Lovies!

Im leaning on my community for some help. For those of you who don't yet know...

For the last two plus years I have struggled with worsening facial paralysis as a result of a facial tumour. The tumour is damaging two of the mobility nerves in my face causing muscles to atrophy (die and lose mobility). This is affecting things like blinking, my vision, speech, eating, drinking, swallowing, facial expression, overall mobility, tension and pain.

After a series of tests and consultations I am looking down the path of a double facial surgery, nerve graft, eye/sight preservation procedures and a long healing process. Being home for minimum 3 months to heal after surgery being a self employed single mama poses a huge financial strain.

I am hoping to lean into my community for some support while I am at home and dealing to take care of bills and kiddos until I can return to work.
