help support my recovery after surgery ♡

Hi everyone! I had a medically necessary major surgery on 8/25 and am now resting up and beginning the healing process. The procedure itself went smoothly, and I’m feeling really grateful to be on a path to recovery. Because my surgeon has me on strict physical lifting restrictions, I will need to take around 6 weeks of unpaid leave from my physically demanding care job in order to heal properly. While I'm looking forward to focusing on my health, needing to take so much time off brings some real financial and logistical challenges. I’m setting up this page to give friends, family, and my broader communities a centralized spot to help out while I recover. If you’re able and would like to offer support, here are the most helpful ways to do so: 💸 **Financial support:** If you’d like to contribute toward recovery expenses, my Venmo/PayPal/Zelle are listed below, as well as clickable buttons for Venmo/Paypal/Visa gift cards on this site. Funds will go towards: my post-op caretaker's round trip plane tickets from Chicago, rent, utilities, recovery supplies, grocery delivery, prescription delivery, transportation, prepared meals, moving costs, and covering basic expenses while I’m unable to work.

There is a button link on this page or you can click/copy and paste this url: https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/3L134CEI8SHM8 💞 **Company** Recovery can be isolating! If you’re local and would like to visit, watch a movie, bring a snack, take a gentle walk together, or just keep me company, I would love that. Especially after my main caretaker leaves to go back to Chicago after the 29th, it would mean so much to me to have people checking in on me through text or in person here while I'm managing the rest of my recovery solo. 🚗 Rides to/from and support during post-op appointments: If you have a car and are able to take me to and from an appointment, here are my post op appointment dates ~ All appointments are at 2222 NW Lovejoy St 1. ̶A̶u̶g̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶3̶1̶ ̶@̶ ̶1̶0̶:̶2̶5̶ ̶a̶m̶ ̶-̶ ̶1̶1̶ ̶a̶m̶ (claimed! thank you 🤍 ) 2. ̶S̶e̶p̶t̶e̶m̶b̶e̶r̶ ̶8̶ ̶@̶ ̶8̶:̶4̶5̶ ̶a̶m̶ ̶-̶ ̶9̶:̶2̶0̶ ̶a̶m̶ (claimed! thank you 🤍 ) 3. September 24 @ 9:45 am - 10:20 am 🍲 **Meals/support with food:** I would love some help with food since I’ll have limited mobility/energy and won’t be able to cook as much. If you’d like to contribute a meal, grocery delivery, or gift card, I’d appreciate it so much. Please check the care calendar below to claim a meal spot, or just contact me and I’ll clear it on your behalf! Thank you so much to everyone who has already reached out, sent well wishes, or checked in. This is a vulnerable thing to share for a vulnerable time, but I’m so grateful for any support, encouragement, or good vibes you’re able to send my way. Thank you for helping me through this big life moment. 💛
