Hi My name is Sophia, I’m 23 years old, and I have been fighting autoimmune disease for 9 years now.

as of 2026, I am diagnosed with fibromyalgia, HCC connective tissue disease (lupus diagnosis in process), arthritis, reynauds syndrome, IBS-C, and a reproductive disease that my doctors believe is endometriosis (see picture of my flared belly.) I also suffer from mental health conditions, such as G.A.D, C-PTSD, and MDD.

I am currently living with my

emotionally and verbally abusive grandmother and have no money to pay for moving expenses to leave. I am graduating from trade school in one month and used up all my savings to pay my tuition. I have no more money for medication, urgent care visits, or the diet that I need to be on to manage my IBS.

I need to get out of this environment so I can go support myself as a solo esthetician who makes her own hours and is able to rest without fear of losing my job. I am also a video game lover and do Twitch streams on the side for extra income to support myself. If you can’t donate, please follow my Twitch page @shortysamaa , it helps me grow my income on the platform and I use that money towards the big move, Anything helps. Thank you all so so much
