Join Tay's Journey to Health and Stability

Hey, I’m Tay. I’m an artist and a case manager who works with people who have recently overdosed—but right now, I can’t even take care of myself.

This year has been brutal. I went through a thyroid storm caused by Graves’ disease and ended up hospitalized multiple times since January. I’ve had terrifying symptoms, including auditory hallucinations. On top of that, I’m still trying to manage bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. It’s a lot all at once, and it’s knocked me flat.

I had to take unpaid leave from work. I don’t have a safety net. My art helps, but it’s not enough to cover rent, food, meds—just surviving.

I’ve built a life around helping other people, and it feels really hard to ask for help for myself. But I need to. I need time to heal without falling apart financially. If you can donate or even just share this, it means everything.

Thank you for reading this. I’m trying my best.

Love,

Tay
