Hi friends and community. I am unfortunately going through some challenging, painful health issues right now. I am not able to work for the next month due to pain and other symptoms. I am thankful for a job that is working with me to have this time off, but I will only receive a portion of my regular income from work due to being on medical leave. I am happy to share more details with you directly, but I have many appointments and tests and procedures done and to be done to try and diagnose this issue.

I am asking for help to pay my rent in February. My rent, which includes all my utilities, is $1900. Every little bit, $5 or $10, would be really helpful and I would be so thankful. This will allow me to use the money I am receiving otherwise on healthy food, taking care of my pets, and the increasing medical bills.

much love,

em
