As most of you know, i've been struggling with some persistent health issues since August of 2023. Since that time, i've had numerous procedures & tests performed in an attempt to obtain a diagnosis, but my Doctors have been unable pinpoint whatever it is that is causing me to be ill nearly every day for over 2 full years. These symptoms have highly impacted my day-to-day life, making even simple tasks difficult, as I'm constantly exhausted & sick. I was hoping that these issues would begin to decrease over time, but things only seem to be getting worse.

With my Healthcare monthly premium raising 700% compared to last year, i've been forced to abandon my health insurance plan for 2026. I simply can't afford it. I've gotten zero relief from my Doctors & Specialists over the past 2 years, & it has only provided me with more & more bills that i am currently unable to pay. Now, I am struggling to keep up with my basic needs, such as groceries, rent, & utilities. I am dangerously close to losing my home at the end of December.

I've been attempting to force a complete 180° onto myself to try and get past this sickness, and return to a somewhat normal existence. I've learned to live & cope with this illness a bit better, but i don't have any more time to waste searching for a diagnosis. I fear that if I don't get back to some type of normalcy that things will soon take a drastic turn, and it will all be over for me. I have been attempting to secure a job since October with absolutely no luck. I've been surviving by selling off any and everything of value that I own, but even those sales are not enough to cover my monthly bills & rent at this point. I'm available to accept a position at a workplace immediately, but this has proven to be a struggle thus far. I am trying to stay positive that something will change for the better VERY SOON, and attempting to remain optimistic. I hope to return to work shortly...sick or not.

In the meantime, I am forced to reach out to you, my family & friends for some assistance. I know that many of you have already gone WAY out of your way to help me over the past 2 years & I truly appreciate that! It hurts me to have to ask and continue taking handouts from kind folks. I will never forget that, and will do all that i can to repay my debts. Thank you for considering a donation today, absolutely anything helps. Happy Holidays!
