In Support of Shay & Aiden

Shay & Aiden
Hello, everyone. ❤️

If you know me, you know how difficult it is for me to be in a position where I can’t do everything for myself. I’ve always been extremely independent and lived my life by the mindset, “If you want it done right, do it yourself.” But this emergency surgery and recovery process is teaching me something I’ve never been very comfortable with—allowing people to help me and needing the help.

Since having a major spinal surgery (PCDF) that has altered my spine and life forever with a recovery period of 6 to 12 months, as hard as it is to say, I need help. It's taking a lot for me to turn to others and ask for support, but I have to accept my reality that right now, I simply can’t do this on my own. 

If you’re able to donate, any amount—no matter how small—would truly help and be deeply appreciated. If you aren’t able to contribute financially, there are other ways you can support me. Please share my fundraiser link or QR code with others. Donations of food, toiletries or medical supplies would also mean so much. And most importantly, prayers are always welcomed. 🙏🏽

This has been an incredibly humbling experience for me, and I’m learning that sometimes strength isn’t doing everything by yourself—it’s having the courage to admit when you need help.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out, prayed for me, checked on me, shared my story, donated, or simply sent words of encouragement. Your love, prayers, generosity, and well wishes mean more to me than I can put into words. ❤️

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🙏🏽❤️
