Life took an unexpected turn recently when I underwent an ilectomy, cecumectomy, and bowel resection. This surgery has presented some significant challenges, including a longer recovery period than anticipated. As a result, I'm temporarily unable to work and am facing difficulties covering my essential expenses, like rent. I'm determined to heal and get back on my feet, and I'm reaching out to this community for a little support during this unexpected chapter. Any help you can offer would mean the world to me as I focus on recovery and getting back to Independence.
