Hey friends and family,

I can’t seem to grow plants worth a darn but I sure can grow kidney stones! I have made significant life changes since the first whopper of a stone I cultivated in 2016. That sucker was 19mm and very nearly killed me from septicemia. The one I am fostering right now is 27mm long and 18mm wide and stuck! I’m in excruciating pain that can’t be resolved without medications that make it impossible to work and stay comfortable at the say time and an invasive surgical intervention. Soooo…I've been off work since the 21st of April. I’ve been to all the doctors and trying like mad to get my paperwork in order to go on short term disability. However, humans make mistakes and my paperwork has been kicked back a couple times. I’m looking at least until mid to late June to get everything straightened out. Due to COVID restrictions and the urologist only has one kit for a percutaneous nephrolithotomy (cut into my back to get the stone out), I can’t get in for surgery until June 10th and possibly return to work after the 27th of June. Long story short, I need financial help. I'm tapped out from small crisis after small crisis these last couple years. So with a very humble heart dear family and friends I am asking for some help to get me through this health crisis so I don’t lose my house or have the electricity and water turned off again.

Thank you taking a moment to read about my situation and considering if you are able to lend a helping hand.

Humbly yours,

Amy
