Two Jobs and Out with Appendicitis
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Rachel, also going by ElderT to my artist friends. I am a 24 year old factory worker and concept designer in the northern US.
Last year was not kind. Family deaths, and multiple flare ups of a new chronic illness that looks like lupus left me in quarantine for much of last year, leaving my savings low. And now, as I'm starting to recover from it, this year has decided to hit me already.
Jan 13th, I was admitted to the ER with stomach pains that turned out to be appendicitis, and I had to go through emergency surgery that day to have my appendix removed. The surgery went well, and I'm recovering fine! But I'm being kept from lifting anything over 30 pounds for at least six weeks. Since I work in manufacturing, this will put me out of work at least until my followup appointment, but most likely for the full six weeks :c
Currently, I can't sit up for long enough periods of time to work at my second job, so I'm cut off of both my main and secondary sources of income. I don't know how I'm going to pay rent, let alone whatever the medical bills are going to be. As much as it pains me, the savings I'd put together to get larger enclosures for my reptiles is already going to surviving now
I'm not expecting or hoping for much. My goal is to make the two weeks of work I'll for sure miss, and hope that I'll be allowed to go back to work with restrictions after. Anything extra...I hope I won't need it :'D But anything extra would go toward six weeks of no work, or to the surgical bill if I'm allowed to return to work
Anything you can give, whether it's a donation or a share, would do amazing things to take some weight off shoulders <3 Thank you for listening
