Hi everyone! I'm Liz and I'm doing the thing that I hate most in the entire world: Asking For Help.

I will be relocating back to the Boston area very soon in order to access better quality healthcare, and to be closer to my family & friends so I can nurse myself back to health after a two year body horror illness nightmare. And I need a boost to get there.

I got very sick in the winter of 2024, and it culminated in a Cancer Scare in spring 2025 after discovering a 13cm ovarian cyst. That discovery led to abdominal surgery and a new diagnosis of endometriosis. A diagnosis of Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder followed soon after. Yay, answers to my lifelong health mysteries!

Since getting sick, I have not been able to work full time. And, with the job market being what it is in Maine, my wages for part time work haven't been enough to cover all of my expenses. I've been very lucky to have a safe and caring place to live while here, and I am extraordinarily grateful. But, it's time for me to float back down home for a fresh start. I can see a path for myself, clear as day. I just need a bit of help to get there.

In order of priority, your contribution will go towards:

Thank you so much for listening! :D
