My health journey began abruptly, as the trauma of my past began to manifest in my body. Stress-induced rheumatoid arthritis came first, bringing joint pain and inflammation that made everyday tasks challenging. Then, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a condition marked by relentless pain, fatigue, and a constant need to manage my energy. These illnesses are invisible to most, but they affect every decision I make, creating a daily balancing act that has become my new normal. Then came a pulmonary embolism, a life-threatening event that shook me to my core. At the time, I didn’t understand just how serious it was. It wasn’t until later that I realized how close I had come to losing my life. That moment left me physically and emotionally shaken, and I couldn’t help but wonder how much more my body could endure. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 Now, I’m facing my toughest battle yet: breast cancer. When I received the diagnosis, I felt an overwhelming wave of fear, disbelief, and uncertainty. The road ahead is daunting, with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments in my future. Each day brings new physical challenges, emotional exhaustion, and the weight of trying to hold everything together while battling this illness. My health journey has been an unpredictable and difficult road, one that has deeply impacted my life and brought me to this moment of vulnerability. I’m sharing my story here, not just to seek help, but to connect with others who may understand or find inspiration in resilience. Despite everything, I am determined to keep fighting. This journey has taught me how strong I can be, even in the face of overwhelming odds. I’m focused on healing, finding hope in the small moments, and leaning on the support of friends, family, and kind-hearted individuals who lift me up. Unfortunately, the financial burden of these battles has been enormous. Between treatments, medications, and managing daily life with multiple chronic illnesses, the costs have become overwhelming. That’s why I’ve created this funding campaign. Any help, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference. It will allow me to focus on what truly matters: my health, my healing, and holding onto hope. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
