For the past two years, my life has completely changed due to severe chronic pain and ongoing medical complications. What started as symptoms in my back, pelvis, and legs slowly turned into a daily battle that has affected every part of my life physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially. In just two years, I have undergone seven surgeries and procedures in hopes of finally finding relief and getting my life back. Despite everything, I continue to struggle every single day with debilitating pain, mobility limitations, fear, and exhaustion. Some days it feels impossible to explain how deeply chronic pain affects every moment of your life until you’ve lived it yourself.

Before all of this, I worked extremely hard for years building my career and supporting my family. I was the General Manager of a large company, worked long hours, and dedicated myself fully to my job and the people around me. Losing my ability to work the way I once did has been heartbreaking and terrifying. Now, while still actively undergoing treatment and trying to recover, I am facing the loss of my income and health insurance while continuing to navigate serious medical issues and mounting expenses. Between surgeries, procedures, medications, travel, medical bills, and everyday living costs, I have reached a point where I truly need help.

As difficult as it is for me to ask, this fundraiser is being created to help support me while I continue fighting for my health, stability, and quality of life. Every donation, share, message, or ounce of support means more than I could ever put into words. Thank you for taking the time to read my story, for believing me, and for helping me continue this fight during one of the hardest periods of my life.
