DJ Khaled said it best: and another one!

If you’re new here: Thanks for checking my page out. I’ll spare you the 38 year-long story and in good ol’ Reddit style do a TL;DR which is: I had Type 1 Diabetes since 3/4 years old, succumbed to renal failure in 2019, dialyzed for 4.5 years, and finally received a life-saving Pancreas-Kidney transplant in 2023 at Mayo Clinic, AZ. I really thought I had some reprieve, but I keep getting side quests from the Game Master, with the recent one being Moyamoya disease (see above for the details).

I work full-time, but medical crap is expensive. The dual organ transplant I needed in 2023 cost over $500,000 (not out of pocket, but we def had co-pays, non-covered services, etc.). It is especially financially taxing when these medical issues are sequential, like my situation (yay…!)

So, anything monetary is SUPER helpful. And I’m a words gal, so a message is always nice, too 🙂

* Little tidbit about donating through here: if you donate through this platform, they take a little chunk out but you get a tax deductible form that you can use when you file your annual return (a little quid pro quo, of sorts). This platform also makes sure the monies only go to medical expenses–SO! If you see me in a fat gold bracelet, you know I didn’t spend the money you donated for that, haha!

All jokes aside:

To donate to my fundraising campaign, click on the “Give” button, or contact Help Hope Live at 800.642.8399 for more information.

Many thanks! Hopefully this is the last one (won’t hold my breath, though).

Love always,

Tasha
