Hi, most of you know me as a story-telling theater and DnD loving nerd who wants to change the world. I am still that, but I realized I might need to help myself first. I was recently hospitalized with heart damage from a basic viral infection.

While I came out okay and am waiting for the virus to run its course, the doctor and several loved ones recommended somatic therapy for trauma healing.

I've been dealing with POTS for as long as I can remember, but only discovered that’s what it was after COVID when it started growing worse.

My therapist helped tie it to childhood trauma. It was manageable, but then almost two years ago my life was upended. I lost my home, my dog, one of my cats was taken, and ultimately was put in a difficult situation that threatened my stability severely.

While I’m grateful my life looks different now, my heart has never fully physically recovered from the ordeal, and I often wake up with chest pains and fluttering from PTSD-based trauma.

I'm hoping to raise enough money to cover several months of cardiology, somatic therapy and healing so I can begin to live a healthier life again.

It would mean the world to me if you can’t donate yourself, sharing my story.

I have so much love left to give the world, I just need help giving myself love first.

Anything helps. Thank you all.
