Not being okay is okay but FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION

Hey, many of you may know me as Shawnta, Lyric, or Rapunzel depending on the platform. I’m typically always displaying my outside “coat,” but today I’m baring a bit more because I must set my pride aside and reach out for donations to help assist with medical expenses, financial bills, etc.

For the past 15-plus years, I’ve dealt with autoimmune diseases, nerve damage, severe carpal and cubital tunnel with unsuccessful surgeries, and other unknown medical issues that I’ve struggled with in silence. My biggest issue has always been my pride, and my determination can sometimes be a hindrance. I’ve come to a point in my life where I’ve prayed and had my supporters in my corner assist in all ways they can. Now, as the burden and weight of it all has become too overwhelming, I’m realizing I must ask for larger support and help.

If there is any possible way you are able and willing to donate to help financially to assist in medical expenses, financials, etc., the love is very much appreciated more than could be expressed. If you are unable to help through this site but would like to, I have other methods (Cash App, Apple Pay, Zelle, PayPal, etc.).

I believe in the power of prayer, and I firmly believe that God is going to continue to help me stay strong. He hasn’t forsaken me thus far, and I believe He will help guide me through these wars. A little help can go a long way. My first step was admitting and acknowledging; my next is accepting and asking. My final step is being appreciative of any and all help sent my way.
