Hi my name is Makenzie ,

In 2024, I was working for University of Kentucky hospital as an EVS worker (cleaning staff) when I was struck with a condition that caused extreme muscle fatigue, pain, and weakness. This severely limited my mobility, which led to the loss of my job and housing. I am visually impaired and unable to drive, so this was detrimental to my everyday life.

Since this time, I have been on a journey to receive a diagnosis for these symptoms. I have journeyed through homelessness, consistent moving and travel, a plethora of ER visits, and difficulty maintaining stability while undergoing rigorous testing with multiple specialists.

I have been lucky in finding dependable friends who have supported me on this journey and done all they can to ensure I am safe, but with progressing symptoms and a growing number of appointments, this help alone isn't sustainable.

I am seeking financial help so I may have the resources to continue seeking my diagnosis without needing to relocate to a new area and lose the progress I have made.

The funds would allocated to :

I am not done fighting - I ask for help so I can continue to fight until the battle is won.
