Hi, my name is Annika, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart because I truly need help.
I’m currently facing my third surgery for a painful and persistent medical condition called pilonidal disease. This time, I’ll be undergoing a flap procedure, which is more invasive and requires a longer recovery. My doctor has made it clear that I’ll need time off to heal properly, and that’s where I’m stuck.
I am currently a college student, I work hard and try to stay afloat, but I live paycheck to paycheck, and time off means no income. I don’t have paid medical leave, and without financial support, I won’t be able to pay my rent, bills, or basic necessities.
I’m asking for $5,000 to help cover:
• Rent & utilities during recovery
• Groceries & transportation to follow-up appointments
