Temporarily disabled hairdresser

Hi I’m Nevada and I’m a 27 year old hairdresser based in LA. Last month I was walking my dog - upon being startled by a loose stray dog I jumped up and tore my meniscus. I haven’t been able to walk, or work since then. Those who know me understand my passion and commitment to what I create with hair. I am so sad when I tell my clients I will be out of work for 2-3 months, and unable to do what I’m most passionate about.

I have surgery at the end of August, and will be in recovery for 6-12 weeks. Your support will help me pay for medical expenses, post-op care, my chihuahua, and some bills. I know a lot of people are having a tough summer (between strikes and environmental disasters) and appreciate what folks can spare in my time of need.

If I reach my goal I will pledge 10% to relief for Hawaii - Lahaina. Thank you all who read this and share and support ❤️
