Support Tara Fallon in overcoming Long Covid after surgery.

Hello friends close and far.

Since surgery in late November to rebuild my right Achilles tendon and heel; I have had Covid-19 four times. Latest being last Thursday March 27, 2025. The medication I take to treat my Rheumatoid Arthritis lowers my ability to fight off infection.

I have been wearing protective masks every moment away from home since early February. It’s a cycle of get sick & staying home 5-10 days, go back to work 2-3 weeks (masking & social distancing); repeat process. My work does not allow ability to work from home. I conserve my energy for work only. I’ve not even visited my family since late Summer.

I’ve exhausted PTO in Dec, loans from loved ones, and now am on my 6th total week without earning a paycheck. I am filing for short-term disability and enrolling in an immunology program.

I humbly ask for mercy and blessings from you to help reduce the stress that limits me to heal. Funds will go towards paying back rent, utilities, living expenses, repaying loans from loved ones, and medical insurance premiums, till I am able to recover and return to my job.

I understand during this time of economic uncertainty that everyone is struggling. No one fully knows or understands the depth of some. My endearing hope is to recover, gain ability to earn a living, and be lucky enough to pay it forward in volumes.

Thank you, and bless you.

Tara Fallon
