Rollator for Donnie: A Path to Relief

Adonis Chevalier is organizing this fundraiser.

Hello, my name is Donnie. I am 20 years old and I have been suffering from an unknown chronic issue since I was 13 years old.

I have a consistent issue with my joints being in terrible pain some days where it hurts to even walk, while also having issues with my heart rate being in the 70 bpm range (when laying down) to then spiking to 150 bpm only by standing. The longer I stand, the worse my joints are and the higher my heart rate is. This mystery illness has caused so much turmoil in my personal life, affecting my mental health and not being able to keep up with activities with family or friends. This unfortunately includes my financial situation.

I'm physically not able to keep a job because the more I'm on my feet doing physical labor, I end up almost passing out or I am so nauseated I end up in the bathroom vomiting most of my shifts. I lost my first job that I had since 17 (because of this illness worsening over time) in February of 2024. Ever since then, it's been a battle with doctor after doctor, fighting to figure out what is wrong with me. Because of all this, I have been jobless, not being able to save anything for mobility aids.

So due to this, I'm in need of help to raise money for a rollator. This aid would help me be able to go places without being in immense pain. The people around me who are my support can't afford to get me a rollator since the reliable ones I trust to be of good quality are $100-$200. The kind act of donating would mean so much to me. Sharing this around, or even just donating a dollar, helps a ton. I've started art commissions as well if you would rather gain something from donating! (I will link my art account where the commission sheets will be posted below.) I appreciate any donations received! There will be a link to the rollator i'm buying for validity.
