Support for Sylv's Health Recovery

Donation protected
Over the last two years, I have been dealing with several severe chronic illnesses including Hidradenitis Suppurativa, and Psoriasis. After going back and forth with insurance not covering medications, causing multiple hospital/ER visits, I went half a year without my diabetes medication. This caused, among other things, severe dehydration and damage to my liver.

Though my job was aware of my medical issues, they did little to accommodate me and this month I was fired, supposedly for one instance of being late. Since losing my job, I have no source of income, and with my current flare-up of psoriasis on my hands and feet, I am unable to stand for long periods or use my hands which has made job options incredibly slim.

With there being a high chance I need surgery later in the year for a deep and painful cyst caused by my Hidradenitis Suppurativa and the likely fact that I won't be able to go back to work for a few more months, I am in need of financial assistance to support myself.

I will be using donations to help get my medications, pay for doctor visits, feed myself and my cat Ponyo who I love very dearly. I am always grateful for any donation no matter how small anything helps. Thank you to everyone who donates and shares <3
