Hello everyone, I never thought I would have to make one of these things, but here I am in need you your support for helping me receive shoulder surgery. This is a procedure I have been putting off for years now, and it is finally at a point where I can no longer wait, or live comfortably without getting it. These funds will solely go towards the procedure, and recovery time where I will be unable to work.

Creating a gofundme has been a tough decision, because I know that we all go through things, and a lot of people never make a fund. This is also challenging because I am a private person in my personal life, and by making this public is taking a lot of courage to do. I am trying to swallow my pride, and be open to different possibilities.

Those who know me personally know that I do not come from much, because of my humble upbringing I've worked really hard to be where I am at now.

This all started in 2016 on a road ride when I was squeezed off the road by some driver causing me to crash with major impact causing a severe dislocation, funny enough my sister was working in the ER that day at Kaiser. Those years I was working as a bike messenger in San Francisco and the only way I made money was on the bike, so my recovery time became very limited.

From 2016 forward I have been able to manage this injury through strength and conditioning. It has only been the past two years where this Injury has returned to it worst state. As of this year my shoulder has had 10 dislocations.

If you have made it this far, thank you so much for taking the time to read through all of this. If you choose to donate, just know how appreciative I am. Wishing you all the best.
