<div><strong>Hi my name is Makenzie , </strong>
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The funds would allocated to :</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Shelter
</li>
<li>Food
</li>
<li>Travel expenses to doctors appointment
</li>
<li>Housing fees
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am not done fighting - I ask for help so I can continue to fight until the battle is won. 
</div>
