Life has thrown me a curveball lately, and I wanted to be real about where I’m at.

Recently I lost my job, and on top of that I’ve been dealing with some serious medical issues in my back. I’ve got three bulging discs and severe compression on my sciatic nerve, which has made it really hard to work and keep things moving the way I normally would. Because of that, bills have started piling up while I’m trying to get everything sorted out and figure out the next steps.

If you know me, you know I hate asking anyone for help—especially when it comes to money. I’ve always tried to handle things on my own. But right now I’m at a point where I could really use a little help getting through this rough patch.

If anyone is able or willing to help out even a little, it would mean more than you probably know. And if you can’t, that’s completely okay too—I understand and appreciate the support either way.

Sometimes life humbles you and reminds you that it’s okay to ask. I’m doing my best to get back on my feet, and I’m grateful for any kindness along the way.
