Hi everyone,

I'm writing this with a quiet ache in my chest and a hope that honesty can carry me the rest of the way.

Last year, I underwent a major knee surgery. What I thought would be a one-year recovery has become a deeper journey, one of rebuilding my mobility, reclaiming my strength and preserving a sense of inner ground.

I've invested thousands into my recovery, consisting of physical therapy, acupuncture, and holistic care; all in earnest to return to myself.

Though I've come a long way, the weight of external challenges has become too much to bear alone. Beyond the physical pain, I've had to advocate for myself in the face of medical dismissal, while managing stress-related symptoms like blood pressure spikes and deep fatigue. Working full-time in a taxing and silencing corporate environment has only compounded the difficulty; especially as so much of this healing has happened quietly, behind the scenes.

With humility, I've created this GoFundMe to ask for support during a pivotal phase in my healing. All funds will go toward my physical therapy and dance rehabilitation, essential steps to rebuilding my body and returning to movement with strength and grace.

This isn't easy to share, but I also know that true strength lives in vulnerability, in community, and in allowing yourself to be seen.

Thank you for reading, for holding space, and for walking with me.

With love,

Keanna Angélique
