Pi Can't Work/Dance.. Needs Your Help with Rent!
Donation protected
On December 16th, I suffered a pretty bad fall down a set of stairs on 16th street mall, severely rolling my ankle and sending me to the ER at Denver Health. My ankle swelled up 3x its size within minutes of the fall and I was convinced I had broken my ankle.. BUT after 8 X-Rays, we found out I amazingly didn't break any bones. and that they THINK it's just a sprain. The doctors attributed the fact that nothing broke to the strength and flexibility of my feet/ankles from dancing.
I have since been BACK to the hospital for the massive amounts of pain I was experiencing, but am still waiting to get an appointment with an orthopedic doctor to get an MRI and possibly surgery..... I am scared :-(
It has been 14 days and I am still unable to put ANY weight on my ankle and the pain is constant. I have been RICE-ing it, taking ibuprofen, drinking lots of water and taking CBD.
Dance is my LIFE as well as my MAIN source of income. I teach weekly dance classes, do private lessons, Gogo dance at a nightclub, run my own dance company, and choreograph and dance on another dance company. The money I had saved up has almost come to an end and I am now faced with $1500/month rent at my new place (since me and the husband split). Without a working ankle, I am forced to crutch, hop, and crawl around my house in excruciating amounts of pain. I won't be able to dance/work until I am fully healed, which at this point is indefinite as we are still waiting to hear back about an Ortho Doc appointment. Showering, cooking, cleaning and regular daily activities are difficult, painful, and time consuming.
Luckily, over time (and thanks to my step-dad) I have accumulated all the tools I need to create a YouTube channel which I have been wanting to do for a while now!! I am able to create videos about DANCE and help/teach others at the same time! Morning, day and night I have been devoting my time to these videos keeping me active in the dance community. It has really helped with my depression of not being able to dance and given something to look forward to each day.
I am hoping that some of you might be in a spot to be able to help me out. I would like to be able to pay 2 months rent (January and February) as soon as I can ($3000) so I don't have to worry about it. The extra money will go towards living expenses: human food, dog food, toiletries, CBD products etc. I am more than happy to show the rent checks once it's made as well as receipts for all expenses that I incur! I am also happy to speak with anyone about my situation and answer any questions. I have racked my brain for ways to come up with all this money but with the state my ankle is in, it's hard for me to even leave my house. I thank you in advance!!!!
