A lot of you already know my story but for those that don't here it is. I used to work and lived a pretty active lifestyle but since 2019 my health has rapidly declined.

I was born with a rare form of dwarfism that comes with many different aspects ie immunodeficiency, recurring respiratory infections, ENT issues, GI issues, Gyno issues, hypermobility, arthritis and osteoporosis. I also have fibromyalgia and spinal stenosis (very painful).

This spring I was diagnosis with lung cancer (a rare form that typically affects people with my type of dwarfism) they removed part of my lung along with a loonie sized tumor. Thankfully the cancer never spread however there is a risk that it could return but I am hopeful it won't.

With all that said I am reaching out to ask for help to cover my medical treatments and therapies. I need acupuncture, massage therapy, physio therapy. Each session is on average 60-100$. I also need a high protein diet to help with my osteoporosis. Protein supplements on average 30-80$. I also need other supplements and vitamins on average 30-100$. If I can raise enough money I am considering going for stem cell therapy, as a good friend of mine had it done and it has immensely improved her life. That kind of therapy is approx 2500$.

Unfortunately I cannot afford to do any of this living on my Disability Pension. Disability will cover a portion of therapies however it is a very small amount not enough to be sustainable.

I know a lot of us are struggling financially in this economy so any donations are welcome 5$ or even 10$ it all adds up! Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I pray that I can rehabilitate myself so that I can lead a somewhat normal life again. Perhaps go back to school to become a counselor for those who live with chronic pain and illness just like myself.

Many blessings to you ❤️
