Cathie has been struggling with chronic pain among other symptoms from fibromyalgia, which has been negatively affecting her life on a day-to-day basis. The pain gets so debilitating that it's exhausting to complete daily tasks. Some of the symptoms that Cathie experiences include:

Currently, Cathie sleeps on a bed that worsens her body pain, due to it not being right for her body, as well as it having bed bugs. She has been sleeping on this bed every night for 6 years now. Cathie wakes up in extreme pain and dreads going to sleep every night because she knows she'll wake up from a restless and painful sleep. Sleep is very important for mental and physical recovery and Cathie deserves to at least have a comfortable bed to sleep on at night after a day of exhaustion and pain. It has gotten so painful that she has resorted to sleeping on her chair instead.

All donations will go to helping Cathie move out of her current apartment to a place that will fit a bigger (she currently has a twin size) and more comfortable bed (the donations will fund the bed itself as well). Any amount helps, thank you so much!
