Em’s Surgery Fund: Recovery & Rent Help

Hey friends,

Come late July, I’ll be undergoing a surgery that will require me to take four to six weeks off work. While I’m choosing to keep the details private, this is a necessary procedure—and recovery will take time, rest, and stability.

That’s where I’m hoping for support from my community.

Without paid leave, I’ll be facing a period where rent and basic expenses are still due, but income is paused. I’m raising funds to help cover:

$2,000 = 1 month of rent and expenses

$3,000 = 1.5 months covered

$4,000 = 1.5 months, plus funds for a recliner chair (a big help for recovery) and other medical supplies, the surgical copay, and any unexpected costs that come up

A portion of this will also go toward caring for my cat, Stolas, who will be my little recovery companion.

Anything you can give—even just a share—helps me create a comfortable place to truly rest. Thank you so much for reading, for caring, and for being part of my support system.

With love,

Em (& Stolas )
