Life Update
Hi everyone, this is a personal update on what's been going on with me.
Last year around the end of the year, I was experiencing a serious medical issue that almost took my life. I would later find out that I had an aggressive form of cancer called Lymphoma (stage 4), and literally had literal days, maybe weeks at best, to live. I had to fly out of the country to get a major emergency debulking surgery in Turkey, and soon after got chemo in Taiwan (long story of why I had to go all over the place to get treated, but it was a lot and I almost didn't make it).
Anyways, FF to now, June 2025. I'm still undergoing chemo but I am doing it in the states (and I got health insurance!). I'm doing so much better. I'm not 100% in the clear yet, and I still have one more surgery to go, but I just want to thank everyone for supporting me during my health crisis. Everyone who donated or helped in any way, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You're the reason I'm still here. 🙏
If you would like to donate to my medical fund, I would truly appreciate it. As it stands right now I have over $50k of medical bills to cover, and more coming in. It's a lot and I'm not able to work while I'm healing and going through chemo. And I'm a single mom and I don't have rich family or anything to call on. Anything is appreciated, even if you just share the link to your network. Every action adds up.

Thank you all so much for being here with me and for me. Much love. 💓
