Help Kati with medical costs for pain reduction

My name is Kati (she/they) and I am a queer, neurodivergent, disabled mental health therapist. I'm raising money for my medical expenses, including a long-awaited breast reduction surgery.

In the last several years, I've been on a journey to diagnose and treat a number of chronic conditions, including fibromyalgia, dysautonomia, and hypermobile spectrum disorder. Getting a breast reduction would be a huge step in decreasing my pain and improving my quality of life.

I currently manage daily pain in my joints and muscles and chronic fatigue while still continuing to provide mental health care to disabled, neurodivergent, queer, and other underserved populations.

Due to the nature of my disabilities and the work that I do, my income has been very sporadic over the last several years and I do not get paid time off. I will be out of work due to this surgery for three to four weeks and have limited savings due to previous medical expenses, unexpected car problems, and pet-related emergencies. I am raising money to help cover my time off as well as recovery-related expenses such as dog walking, meals, and medical supplies. Anything extra will help me keep some money in savings and pay off previous medical debt.
