I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) at the age of 12. Living with EDS means living with chronic, often severe pain every day, and over the years it has also taken a significant toll on my mental health. The constant pain has contributed to severe depression, making even everyday tasks incredibly difficult.

One treatment that has made a meaningful difference for me is ketamine infusion therapy. These infusions help relieve my treatment-resistant depression and improve my quality of life, allowing me to better cope with the challenges of living with EDS. Unfortunately, ketamine infusions are expensive and are often not fully covered by insurance, making them difficult to afford on an ongoing basis.

I’m creating this fundraiser to help cover the cost of my ketamine treatments so I can continue receiving the care that has given me hope and relief. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps ease the financial burden and brings me one step closer to continuing the treatment I need.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing my fundraiser would mean just as much. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can offer. Your kindness truly makes a difference.
