I never thought I’d be here writing this, asking for help. I am a very private person but, when survival is on the line, pride has to step aside. I underwent another surgery just last month that can get my life back after being abused in a toxic emotional and physical relationship. Well after getting my clavicle kicked in emotional turmoils. This relationship that left me and my body torn apart. I have not dated in years and don’t want to at this point in my life.
I got a bariatric sleeve to reduce the weight gained and medications from the countless trigger point injections every other month for last 5 years. Starting my new path of finding me again and be the best strong mom I can even when I want to hide under a rock at times. The insurance told me that I was not eligible for a breast reduction to stop the ongoing pain pulling downward causing extreme discomfort and pain.
For five years today I agreed to bilateral thoracic outlet surgery. I am living with surgical clips buried deep in my neck, shoulders, and chest left behind from a procedure that was supposed to help. Instead, it left me gasping for air, waking up with my arm frozen against my body, unable to move. The feeling of someone chocking me is absolutely devastating and miserable at this point. Or with every breath felt I take in feels like I am drowning. Every day still has been a huge uphill battle
I’ve carried this pain while raising my child. Fighting with disability for over 3 years now with no luck yet. I am trying to build a future from the rubble of trauma, setbacks, and silence.
This surgery was my chance to breathe again. To move without agony. To smile without shame. But recovery is brutal and I’m still standing on the edge. I fell on a busy street trying to cross the road. I knocked and chipped out a few teeth. With no upper body strength for having Thoracic Outlet surgery. Over 50 surgical clips in neck, chest and on bone of clavicle. Living in this manner is ridicules. Many surgeons will not help. My health is declining and being a single mom is overwhelming due to my health issue adding to my story.
I’m asking for help not just to heal, but to survive.
💔 I’m dental work is totally over $20,000 from one fall and had to stop treatment due to no money.
My debt now from the fall that shattered more than just my teeth.
💡 I need help keeping the lights on.
🏠 I need help covering rent.
👶 I need to keep my child safe while I recover.
If you’ve ever believed in second chances…
If you’ve ever believed in the strength of a mother who refuses to quit…
If you’ve ever looked at someone fighting through pain and thought, “I want to help”…
Please stand with me.
Every dollar helps. Every share matters. Every act of kindness is a step toward breathing again.
