**UPDATE

*I officially had the neck surgery. They went in through the front of my neck, removed the damaged discs, and replaced them so the nerve issues can finally calm down. I’m home now and in recovery, but I’m not gonna lie, it’s been rough.

Right now I’m still not able to work, and that means no paycheck coming in while bills keep hitting like normal. I’m doing everything I can to heal the right way and not push too fast and make this worse long term, but financially I’m struggling.

I know everyone has their own stuff going on, so there’s no pressure.

But if you’re able to help at all, even a little, it would mean the world to me right now.

And if you can’t donate, please share it. That helps more than people realize.*

Hey Guys,

I'm not great at this, so I'm just going to be straight.

Most of you already know what's been going on: the neck injury, the ER trips, and now surgery that's officially happening.

They're going in through the front of my neck to remove damaged discs and replace them so the nerve issues can finally calm down.

After that, I'm going to be out of work for a while. Recovery and physical therapy mean no paycheck, and that part honestly weighs on me more than I like to admit.

I know a lot of you are dealing with your own stuff. Money, health, stress, life just being a lot. So there's no pressure here.

I wouldn't put this out there if things weren't tight and if I didn't really need the help.

This isn't about extras or anything flashy. It's just about covering basic bills while I heal so I don't come back worse or rush recovery only to mess myself up more or long-term.

If you are able to help, even a little, thank you!!!! If you can't, I totally understand and get it. Sharing this, checking in, or just being around still means a lot to me.

I appreciate this community, my friends, and my family more than I'm good at saying.
