I don’t think I’ve ever felt as alone as I do right now, at a time when I need people the most. 💔
It’s heartbreaking to realize that the people who promised they’d always be there for you can go completely silent when life gets hard. The people you thought would check on you, stand beside you, and help you through the hardest chapter of your life are nowhere to be found.
I’m fighting a rare disease, facing a major surgery, dealing with the physical and emotional toll of being sick, and trying to figure out how I’m going to afford it all. My fundraising goal is $15,000, and so far, I’ve raised just $900. That means I still have $14,100 to go, and honestly, the weight of that is overwhelming.
I’m not sharing this for pity. I’m sharing it because behind every fundraiser is a real person who is scared, struggling, and desperately trying to get their life back. I’m not asking anyone to fix everything for me. Sometimes, I just wish the people who said they cared would actually show up.
Being sick is already lonely enough. Feeling forgotten by the people you thought would be there for you makes it hurt that much more.
If you’ve donated, shared my fundraiser, checked on me, or even sent a kind message, please know that it means more than you could ever imagine. And if you can’t donate, sharing my story could help it reach someone who can.
I’m trying so hard to stay hopeful, but right now, I could really use a reminder that I’m not fighting this completely alone. 💗
If you’d like to help me get one step closer to my surgery, my GoFundMe link is in the comments. Every single donation and share matters. 🩷
