To everyone near and far my name is Lorelle Marie Irish, known to most as Lori or Apple. Family and friends, I'm asking for some help to raise some funds for medical reasons. Funds will be used for an upcoming surgery. Many may know I suffer with chronic back pain for years, 5 back surgeries and I'm still standing!! Let me try and paint a picture. I Hate PAIN!! I don't like to speak or be bothered when I'm in pain. That's every day, but once I get up in the morning, I thank God for life and I keep pushing through. The picture isn't done let me add this big stinking heffa call Fibromyalgia that causes me pain everywhere! I'm blending my colors so y'all can see it clearly. She attacks your whole body. Here comes more color,Type 2 Diabetes! Diabetic Neuropathy is more vibrant than RED!! Shall I go on? Today I see a lil good, tomorrow I see spots, then I can hardly see. All that goes and comes. But wait there's more about 6 months ago I had a Rotator Cuff 2.0 surgery. I kid you not, that's what they called it. My RC got repaired, then they mended a torn tendend, and to top it off, shaved some bone off my shoulder blade. Do y'all begin to see this masterpiece of a picture? Right shoulder down left one to go. Let's finish it all with Anxiety!! When you see me you see, Apple the life of the party, Apple the no nonsense, speak her mind no matter what! No ones sees , Apple who cries herself to sleep when she can even sleep, Apple who gets inside her own head and questions everything that she is fighting for, Apple who often wonders if she'll be able to walk when she wakes up. This is ME!! So when y'all see me out ever so often doing the two step, laughing and definitely cussing too, just know, ain't none of y'all can walk a day in my crocs! To be asked, over and over, I thought you were sick, what you doing out, or what is it that you're sick with? Not because I don't look sick doesn't mean that I'm not!!! Today, please help me raise $7,500 for medical expenses. Maybe if I'm lucky I can get a crocs to go along with my PAIN. It may not be easy, but as a Proud Virgin Islander..... One one, full basket!!!

Thanks in advance
