Overcoming this hurdle
Donation protected
On June 17, 2024, I found myself in the ER due to sudden abdominal pain, chills, and vomiting. After calling the nurse line to ask whether I should go to urgent care or the ER, I was advised to head straight to the ER. Once there, I underwent blood tests and a CT scan of my abdomen and pelvis, which revealed that I have kidney stones, a cyst, and lesions that will require me to visit several specialists. The ER doctor told me to follow up with my primary care physician so I could be referred to the appropriate specialists.
At that moment, I was in so much pain that everything the doctor said didn't fully register. It wasn't until I got home that the reality of my condition truly sank in. I was shocked—first, by the severity of my health issues, and second, by a profound sense of unfairness. It feels like the world is against me. Every time I do my best to overcome my struggles, it seems like I have to jump even more hurdles.
For over ten years, I have dedicated myself to providing for my sick family. I have put their needs above my own, and now, all I get in return is sickness. This situation has left me feeling hopeless and angry. With the need to see various specialists, I won't be able to work full-time or continue my TikTok live. One of my greatest joys is dancing, but now I won't have the flexible time to do it.
I want to live my life, but it feels like unfortunate events keep happening to me. It is very unfortunate, and the sad reality is that I need help. For me to survive the next two to three months, I need help with covering my bills. Any assistance would make a significant difference and help me keep going. Thank you very much.
