Hello dear friends,

I am writing to request financial assistance as I prepare for and recover from major surgery related to my severe endometriosis. This condition has profoundly impacted every part of my life over the past several years, and I am humbly asking for support during this difficult time.

For more than three years, I have been battling extreme pain and heavy bleeding that have led to severe anemia and made it impossible for me to maintain steady work. The physical toll has been overwhelming, leaving me exhausted and in constant discomfort. Alongside these health struggles, I have endured devastating personal losses: my brother passed away from an accidental overdose, and shortly after, I lost my mother to undiagnosed, aggressive lung cancer. These losses, combined with the unrelenting pain and physical limitations caused by endometriosis, have deeply affected my emotional and mental well-being, contributing to periods of depression.

Over the past year especially, I have not been able to work due to the severity of my symptoms. My doctors have now determined that surgery is the best path forward. While I am hopeful that this will give me a chance to heal and regain some quality of life, the recovery process will take time, and I will need support to cover my basic living expenses during this period when I am unable to work.

Your generosity would mean more than I can express—it would give me the stability I need to focus on healing without the added burden of financial stress. Any assistance, no matter the size, will help me get through this critical recovery period.

Thank you for considering my request and for supporting me as I take this important step toward regaining my health and independence. I'm so excited to get past this hurdle and start living my life again.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Jody
