Hello family, friends, and online community!

Over the past year, my health has taken a major downturn. I was already diagnosed with Hoshimotos (an autoimmune disease) fibromyalgia, interstitial cystitis, chronic migraines, and more. Since July 2024, I've faced multiple health challenges like infections requiring many urgent care visits, ER visits, a 3-night hospital stay, cardiac symptoms under investigation, and severe chronic pain. The most recent testing points to a connective tissue disease and ongoing sphenoid sinus issues tied to post-COVID problems. Only some of my medications are covered by insurance, and the most helpful pain intervention treatments are not covered at all. 

Additionally, I've been dealing with unexpected financial burdens, including surprise medical bills, legal issues, medical expenses for my service dog, Jake, who went into congestive heart failure recently, and costly emergency home repairs (which have included being defrauded by a contractor for 12K). Despite these difficulties, I'm grateful for being able to work from home and the understanding of my kind clients. However, the many weeks of missed work and my inability to properly promote my new book, act or model, have affected my income significantly.

With all this in mind, I'm reaching out for some much-needed support. Here’s how you can help: 

Thank you so much. I love you and appreciate you! 

With gratitude, 
Jess
