Well Here We Are

Donation protected
I never thought it would come to this but here we are. I'm currently in Elmhurst Hospital diagnosed with osteomyelitis, in addition to some internal bleeding. I've been here since May 14th but I hope to be out by the end of July. As a result I've been out of work in a job that facilitates no sick days. My job is in the air and I've lost my place. I'm trying to raise money to take a small rental somewhere so I can mount my comback. I'll probably be going through rehab as well. On the bright side I do have a job in my field lined up; provided I'm in good enough health to perform my duties. Funds will be used to pay priority bills, for example my phone in order to keep lines of communication open, the rental of a room until I get back to work and get my own place back, transportation to and from rehab, and a party (kidding, just wanted to see if you were reading or scrolling). In essence I need time to get back on my feet, both figuratively and literally. I'm good at what I do for a living. I believe I build relationships. This is what I look forward to doing again... with your help.
