<div>I’m not good at asking for help. But I’m asking anyway—because right now, I’m scared.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m Travis. I’m a writer, a podcaster, a storyteller… and I’m currently on medical leave for a heart condition that knocked the wind out of me—literally and financially.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The chest pain started suddenly. Then came the ER visits, the tests, the stress. Now I’m sidelined. No income. No backup plan. Just a stack of bills, prescriptions I can’t skip, and a power company that doesn’t accept short stories as payment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s what I need help with:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Covering hospital bills and meds
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Keeping the lights on and food in the house
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Buying a little time to heal—and to keep writing while I do
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What hurts most isn’t the chest pain. It’s how fast everything can fall apart when you’re already running on fumes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve spent years building a life around creativity. I’ve published over 40 books. I’ve streamed thousands of hours of storytelling. I’ve created communities that give people hope. I still want to believe this life I’ve built matters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can help—whether with a donation or just by sharing—thank you. Truly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn’t about giving up. It’s about surviving long enough to finish the next chapter.
</div>
