Please Help me survive recovery! As some of you may know, I’ve been struggling for five years with debilitating back pain. I have degenerative disc disease that genetically comes from my father’s side of the family, hence why I have issues at such a young age. I have finally been accepted for surgery, since all other pain management attempts have done nothing. This is exciting news for me, but unfortunately the long recovery means I can’t make money to pay my bills. Commissions are currently my only income, and I’m already struggling because of chronic pain and various health problems. I literally pay 1k a month for food, student loans, internet, phone bill, and car insurance. My recovery will leave me incapable of work for possibly 3 months, though I hope for it to take me much less time. My surgery is June 10th, 2026I feel shame asking for money, as it’s something that’s been beaten into my skull not to do, but I know that this community is so supportive and kind, and I would be so grateful it if anyone could donate to make my recovery much less stressful. Thank you all so much, even well wishes are welcome! <3 There is an image of a blue otter with an arm on her painful back and holding an arm. She is crying from the pain.
