I survived severe DV & SA from my ex-husband. I left in 2018, and was left with severe PTSD, TBI (traumatic brain injury) and fibromyalgia. I underwent significant treatments to heal and was doing much better for the last 3 years. Over the last month (April-May 2026) my migraines have come back extremely aggressively. This has caused me to miss out on work & social activities, as well as my hobbies that bring me joy 💔 my husband has also been missing work to care for me around the house & handle the errands & personal affairs that I normally handle, as he works a lot to financially support us through my recovery. I am a mother of a wonderful kiddo, that unfortunately my abuser fathered & still has legal rights to. We have doggies (my service dog, Sky, is pictured in the photo above) My treatment will involve a year of extensive physical therapy and injection therapy for pain relief & re-wiring my neuropathways. Treatment will cost approximately $15,000 USD & is due out of pocket, mostly upfront/within the first 60 days of treatment as I am uninsured and the facility is specifically out of pocket. I will also need some support with groceries & living costs while I am limited on work and have already fallen behind due to my migraines becoming debilitating. Other ways I need help are with basic things around the house here & there when my pain is high, dropping off groceries (or instacart gift cards) as I find it difficult to drive & grocery shop through a migraine. I may need rides to treatments if it falls during the times my husband is at work. More than anything else, I need human interaction that doesn't drain my cup. I miss my friends, social life & hobbies, and it is difficult to stay out of the sadness aspect of all of this & the ways it has set me back. Healing is not linear, and I'm trying my best to remember that through this challenging time. I truly love & appreciate all of you. Thank you for your kindness & encouragement.
