Hi! My name is Catherine, I'm a 23 year old from Portland, OR looking to undergo surgery that would be beneficial to my health. Expected recovery time ranges from 4 to 5 weeks and during that time I will need funds to cover my expenses while I'm unable to work and am recovering. I expect to be spending a majority of my recovery in bed and while I'm prepared for that, I will need help from my community ensuring I have the resources to survive while I'm recovering. I am highly appreciative to anyone able and willing to donate. The best ways to get funds to me are either through this gofundme or by contacting me directly for my venmo/cashapp handle. I wouldn't be able to do this without the help of all the people willing to donate and for that I'm thankful.
