Hello friends ❤️ this is not something I ever considered doing, and asking for help is not my specialty. But I am putting aside my pride and humbly asking for assistance.

I recently took medical leave for my mental and physical health. I am working closely with my doctor to recover and get extra treatment in order to get back on my feet. This year has been especially challenging— I started out with screening for cancer in January through March (thankfully those reports came back negative) and have been looking for answers regarding other symptoms I have been experiencing. This medical leave was strongly recommended by my doctor to focus on letting my body and mind recover. I will begin a couple of studies to get answers this upcoming week.

However, there were delays processing my leave and my wage continuation, which has created a two week back-log. This puts me in an incredibly tight spot— I am unable to make my mortgage payment, car insurance, and other expenses such as groceries.

I do not have any savings to fall back on, and while I am trying to make money through other avenues, I am still falling painfully short. With this said, I am asking that anyone who feels compelled to help consider donating a small amount to help me make it through these next couple of weeks.

As a way to compensate you for any donations over $25, I am offering 8x12 watercolor or gouache paintings with your choice of style— nature, family portraits, characters, whatever you can imagine, I’d be happy to challenge myself.

If you are not able to donate, I completely understand but still would appreciate your prayers and encouragement!

Thank you for taking time to read this ❤️
