Hi guys, it’s Asia. :)

I’d like to share something personal that has been weighing heavily on me. I was recently diagnosed with an enchondroma, a type of tumor located in one of the bones in my hand (the metacarpal). Over time, my symptoms have continued to worsen, making everyday tasks more difficult and painful. After numerous doctor’s appointments, I now have surgery scheduled to remove the tumor from my bone.

While I’m grateful to have a treatment plan in place, the reality of this situation has been overwhelming. The cost of the surgery alone is significant, and on top of that, I will be facing about two months of recovery. During that time, I won’t be able to work, which means a temporary loss of income and added financial strain.

Those of you that know me may also know that it’s not easy for me to ask for help. I’ve always tried to handle things on my own, but this is one of those moments where I truly need support. Whether it’s through sharing this message, offering encouragement, or helping in any way you can, it would mean more to me than I can express.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any kindness or support you’re able to give during this time.
