<div>Hello, my name is Kevin (28), I'm a freelance Esports worker and a content creator.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>SURGERY + RECOVERY</strong>
</div>
<div>April 24th was the day of my first ever surgery - due to being <strong>diagnosed with level 4/5 phimosis + BXO</strong> I had to be circumcised for health reasons.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Initially thought the recovery would take a few days before returning to normal life activity but some complications have happened. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>30% of the stitched area had a wound dehiscence</strong> that is still closing under second intention healing, extreme sensitivity in the frenulum/glans that has definitely gone down.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What makes me currently 'disabled' on the path to <strong>3 months</strong> is the big wound closure that is on its final healing form - thankfully the sensitivity part is manageable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Went a bit deeper through text context as I don't really feel comfortable in sharing pictures of the recovery process.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>FINANCIAL ISSUES</strong>
</div>
<div>As mentioned previously, being a freelancer means I get paid based on the work I do instead of having a safety net.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am still in bed until the wound closes, which unfortunately made me lose around <strong>3500€</strong> of guaranteed income through casting, streaming and different team offers that I was forced to reject due to still being disabled - apart from the surgery and recovery costs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A physical/mental war during my traumatic recovery has begun to tighten my financial stability which is why I'm asking for help to whoever wants and is able to. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>DONATION COMPENSATION</strong>
</div>
<div>I wouldn't feel okay to receive the money and not being able to payback in some way, so I am committing into shifting the whole donated money into an upcoming <strong>Subathon timer in September or October</strong> to at least gaslight my brain that I earned it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>1€ = 4 minutes of added time</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you wish to donate through other methods, reach out at @KevinHackali on X or Instagram and 'kevin.hackali' on Discord.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>CONCLUSION</strong>
</div>
<div>Even if you can't help financially, I already appreciate the time you took to read the story and I would appreciate even more if you can at least share it for more people to read.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2026 has been wildly unreal and unlucky but I believe it will become better.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you!
</div>
