Meggy’s Healing Fund

Hello my dear people!

As most of you know pretty well, I’ve been struggling with my health for a good long while.

As recently as this past February, I was feeling the BEST I’ve felt in a long time and had the most energy and mobility I’ve had in a very long time. I started strength training with a coach and was killin it—until a couple injuries flared up my mast cell disease again. And for the past few months I’ve been working through a return of pretty severe symptoms.

Last time I got so sick (in 2020) I was living with my parents and I had ample savings to cushion all my medical expenses. This time around I don’t have the same financial situation. Now after a few ED visits and being referred to some out-of-network providers who actually treat my conditions (but are very costly)—I could use some help and support in my healing and recovery.

I’m tempted to buffer all the things I’m currently feeling by saying something like “I promise I’ll work to serve humanity to pay this back!” But that really feels like missing the point… I’ll serve humanity whether you give me a dime or not because that’s what I love to do. The truth is, it’s uncomfortable to ask for help—to show moments of weakness, and leave myself open to whatever may come. And also, I know in my heart this is the right thing for myself, and I deserve support in my healing. I’ve been very committed to showing up with a loving attitude in my day to day, and I deserve to give that back to myself in my own time of need.

(This has turned into a love letter to myself)

Life doesn’t need to be a slog. I know I’m on the verge of breaking through to some really needed healthcare that’ll help me build my life back even stronger than it’s ever been.

No pity here, no shame, no obligation to give me anything. Truly, even thinking of me and sending your love my way means the absolute world to me. I could really use all the love and help I can get. And if you feel a tug in your heart to help a Meg with some medical bills, I’d appreciate that sooo much too.

We’re all stronger together, and I’m so grateful for the amazing people in my life and in my world.

Cheers to getting the help and support we need and deserve. And cheers to opening up to receiving.
