8/22/25 UPDATE:

Out of work, dealing with chronic pain and illness. I am looking for remote work in Media/Advertising/Client Service. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

We are struggling as a family and trying to get enough together to pay rent this coming month, outstanding utilities, and groceries. If anyone can help with anything, it would mean the world to me and the kids.

As soon as I'm back working, my plan is to send back any money that has been sent my way over the past year and now, as well as pay it forward. I want to give back whatever I can.

Thank you,

Laura and kids xoxo

I have been dealing with chronic pain and related health issues for the last few months that have increased in intensity throughout April. I am unable to work and am on temporary disability while dealing with diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.

I am asking for help to cover medical expenses and household expenses that are beyond what I am able to take care of (rent, utilities, groceries).

I had an outpatient procedure today on my left hip and will be starting physical therapy while other tests are done to determine if the cause of multiple symptoms is arthritis/rheumatoid arthritis or another autoimmune disease.

I will update progress here as further diagnosis and treatments continue.
