For the past few years, I have been struggling with multiple chronic health conditions that have affected almost every part of my daily life. I am now working two jobs to pay down the debt that has accumulated during this difficult period, but the workload is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain with my health. I have started this fundraiser to help reduce that financial pressure and give myself a chance to build a more manageable future.

I live with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS), PTSD, anxiety and depression. I also struggle with endometriosis and adenomyosis. Living with several chronic conditions at the same time has been physically and emotionally exhausting, and managing them has affected my ability to live and work as I would like to.

Over time, my health difficulties, reduced capacity and the costs associated with getting through this period have contributed to a significant amount of debt. I have been trying desperately to pay it down and regain financial stability, but I have struggled to get ahead.

Today, I work two jobs to support myself, meet my financial commitments and pay down what I owe. I am doing everything I can to improve my situation, but I know that working this much is difficult to sustain alongside my health conditions.

I feel caught in a cycle: I need to keep working to get out of debt, yet working so much leaves me with less time and energy to focus on my health, treatment and recovery.

I want to break that cycle.

I have always wanted to support myself and take responsibility for my own circumstances. Asking strangers for financial help is not something that comes naturally to me, and it is difficult to admit that I cannot manage everything on my own.

However, I have reached a point where I need to try a different approach. I cannot simply stop working, because my financial commitments still need to be met, but continuing at this pace is not a sustainable long-term solution for me either.

I am hoping to ease some of this pressure and create room to focus more on my health without constantly worrying about how I will make ends meet.

The money raised through this fundraiser will go towards paying down my existing debts and reducing the financial pressure I am currently facing.

My hope is that reducing this burden will help me work towards a more stable financial situation and, eventually, allow me to reduce my working hours and dedicate more time and energy to my health, treatment and recovery.

I am not asking anyone to fix my life for me. I am asking for a little help to give myself a more realistic chance of getting back on my feet while living with conditions that make everyday life challenging enough already.

Every contribution, no matter how small, would help me move towards that goal. If you are unable to donate, sharing my fundraiser could also help it reach someone who may be in a position to support me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I am truly grateful for any support, kindness or help in sharing my fundraiser. ❤️
