In the event of my death all funds are already being directed towards supporting my children.

Hello! My name is Endra or Michelle, and over the past year my health has declined rapidly. I now have severe damage to my spine, suffered a TI, and I am dealing with organ, neurological, and vascular conditions that have left me in the hospital, bedridden, or doing as much work as I possibly can with the limited energy I have that day. The mounting medical and life costs are more than I can handle in the state I’m in, and I am preparing for multiple surgeries, physical therapy, and other medical interventions in 2026. The outcomes are uncertain, and I am medically fragile so I will most be minimally-functional for the foreseeable future as I recover.

While I am grateful for my wonderful family who helps with day-to-day care for my children and help where they can as a single mother, I still bear the responsibility for their wellbeing, financial care, and future. My mother and grandmother have recently passed, and the savings I had built up have gone to my mother’s care, my family, medical costs, and the breaks I’ve had to take from working due to my own illness. I am in the process of stepping down as leadership for my businesses for the time being, but hoping that with enough support I will have access to the medical care I desperately need and be able to resume my projects and continue the work I love.

I adore the community we’ve built and appreciate the support I’ve received over the years, and I hope there are many more after this. Thank you for being here <3.
