Good morning, this was written beforehand as I prepared for surgery. On January 4th, I received the difficult news that I had a brain tumor that was growing, bleeding, and swelling. Everything changed in the middle of the night when I stopped breathing completely, which led to an emergency situation and surgery. Since then, I have missed three months of work and will need to miss several more as I focus on my recovery.

Throughout my life, I have always tried to help others whenever I could, giving away much of what I had to support people facing their own challenges. I never thought I would be in a position where I needed to ask for help myself, but today is that day. The recovery process is long and uncertain, and the financial strain is real. The funds raised here will help me cover my living expenses and ensure I have enough support to get by during this difficult time.

If you have a little bit to give, I would truly appreciate your support. Your kindness will make a real difference in my everyday life and help me survive this challenging period. Thank you for considering helping me as I work toward healing and getting back on my feet.
