Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome means my joints don’t hold together like they should—everyday tasks can cause pain, injury, or even dislocations. My shoulder has reached the point where surgery is the only option—it’s the only way I can keep using my arm and have a shot at living without constant pain.

I don’t have insurance, and the costs are overwhelming. If you can donate, share, or even just send a kind word, it means more than you know. Every little bit truly helps me get one step closer to surgery and a better quality of life.
