Hey everyone,

This is really hard for me to write, but life threw me a curveball and I could use some help.

I recently had spinal surgery to deal with severe nerve pain that had been affecting my day-to-day life. During the surgery, there were unexpected complications- spinal tear and fluid leakage- that kept me in the hospital longer than planned and left me facing a much longer recovery and medical costs than I was prepared for.

Right now, my focus has to be on healing. Unfortunately, that also means being out of work for a bit and juggling medical bills, medications, and everyday expenses while I recover.

I don’t love asking for help, but if you’re able to donate or even just share this page, it would truly mean more than I can put into words. Every little bit helps take some of the stress off so I can focus on getting better.

If you can’t donate, that’s okay too — your support, encouragement, and good thoughts are just as appreciated.

Thank you so much for reading, caring, and being here.
