I’ve put this off as long as I could, hoping for a miracle that hasn’t come. I can’t do this alone anymore, and I truly need help.

Over the past few months, my health has taken a serious turn. I’m dealing with new symptoms, worsening pain, and a rapid decline that has my medical team deeply concerned.

I’m permanently disabled from multiple chronic diseases and illnesses. I’m bedridden, in constant pain, and losing more independence every day. I used to have a full life. Now I can only watch from the sidelines, unable to be part of it. As a former dancer, not having control of my own legs is something I still struggle to put into words.

Lately, everything is getting worse—fevers, severe pain, nausea, weakness, and new complications that are honestly terrifying. I feel like I’m fading by the hour.

This community is one of the only connections I still have to the outside world. Even being here is becoming more difficult.

I started this fundraiser 8 years ago. The amount you see reflects years of scraping by and trying to survive. I had to revive it 2 years ago, and now I urgently need your support to finish it.

I’m in dire need of critical medical tests, treatments, medications, therapies, and care that Medicare doesn’t fully cover. I’m trapped in this failing body and trying to navigate a very broken health care system alone. It’s just all too much.

If you’re able, please help me keep fighting. Every bit counts, and even a small amount truly makes a difference.

Click the link in my bio to donate and share, and please spread the word. Venmo and Zelle are available if that’s easier. 

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for being here. Sending Hoosier love always. 🙏♥️
