If you’ve ever scrolled TikTok in the morning and felt comforted by a kind voice pulling cards and offering encouragement—you’ve probably come across Connie Payne, known as @ConnieP1122. Connie has touched thousands of lives with her warmth, honesty, and daily reminders that none of us are alone.
Over the past year, Connie has been battling a debilitating mystery illness that has caused significant pain and forced her to stop working. Doctors are still searching for answers, with a possible diagnosis of amyloidosis currently being explored. Once a treatment plan is finally determined, the care she needs will be over 8 hours away from where she lives—turning every appointment into a multi-day trip.
Connie and her husband Terry are now a single-income family. Terry has been her rock—taking time off work to support her physically and emotionally through every step of this journey. And once a treatment plan is finalized, he will need to miss even more work to get Connie where she needs to be.
The funds raised will go toward:
- Travel and lodging for upcoming appointments
- Lost wages for Terry as he takes time off work
- Out-of-pocket medical expenses
- And any unexpected costs that come with long-distance care
Connie is the type of person who never asks for help—she’s used to being the one giving it. But right now, she and Terry need their community to show up for them.
Every donation, share, and kind message makes a difference. Let’s give back to someone who has given so much to so many.
