As most of you know, I've been dealing with some mysterious health issues that have left me searching for answers and unable to work . What began suddenly has now turned into an ongoing medical challenge, and despite my numerous reaches for answers the standard healthcare system seems to be failing me.

Unfortunately the financial strain is quickly becoming overbearing and overwhelming. Additionally, I require treatment from a specialist that is well out of my price range, esp being out of work. Creating this GoFundMe isn't easy on my ego, but above all else, I'm a single mama whose daughter desperately needs me back. . And this seems like a realistic first step in doing so.

I am hoping to raise funds to help cover essential living expenses as well as the cost of treatment while I work toward recovery. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who donates, shares, or offers support in any form. I love you all so much and look forward to paying it forward.

You don't realize what a luxury it is to wake up in good health everyday, until one day you don't. This is single handedly the most difficult thing I've ever had to go through, mind body and soul. As someone who takes such good care of myself, I realize now how this could truly happen to anyone at any time. I'll never look past that ever again. Much love.
