I’m scared of how much more independence I might lose while trying to get the treatment I need. 🩷

Over the past few months, my health has declined so dramatically that things I once took for granted, like walking around my house, cooking a meal, or simply taking care of myself, have become incredibly difficult.

I’m finally getting closer to answers and beginning treatment, but the medical expenses just keep coming. And I’m terrified of having to delay care because I can’t afford it.

Right now, I need $290 for immediate medical expenses, and I’m trying to raise another $1,500–$2,500 for upcoming antibiotic treatment in November.

Because of your generosity, I was able to order all four of my comprehensive Vibrant testing panels. That is HUGE, and I’m so grateful to everyone who helped make that possible. 🥹

I know I’ve asked for help many times, and I wish I didn’t have to keep asking. But I’m doing everything I can to hold onto my independence and give myself a chance to get better.

If you’re able to donate, every donation makes a difference. And if you can’t, please consider sharing this post or my fundraiser. If you know me personally, adding a few words about what you’ve seen me go through could help my story reach someone who might be willing to help.

I just want the chance to get some of my life back.

Thank you for continuing to help me hold onto hope. 🫶💚

Hey y'all,
I've got another pal in need of support for emergency housing. She and her little one has had to flee family violence and currently in a women's shelter trying to get relocated to one here in Edmonton, without much luck, as several shelters, sadly, are already full.

Any support you're able to give would be greatly appreciated. More information can be found in the gofundme, I'll have the link in my bio. Please share and donate if you're able no matter how small 🙏🏽

It's hard to put into words the love and kinship I have for this human, he is constantly striving to make this world a better place, even when he's struggling, and it is with him in it.
Please share and donate if you're able no matter how small, link is in my bio and I'll keep reposting as much as I can.

UPDATE: He's closing the gofundme, many thanks to everyone that helped get this funded, and for making this stressful time softer for him 🤗✨💖✨🤗

UPDATE: This is 65% funded at $520, just $280 remaining, though exceeding this goal would be awesome!!

Thanks to @studiomucci I started trying out her #anxietyblobs and already find them so calming and soothing for my brain ☺ These were made over the past three days and I can already see improvements in areas to get the effects I wanted while embracing the "learning curve" and being okay with making badart

I strongly encourage you to checkout the og videos on her page and support @studiomucci 's content

These were made on a #secondhand drawing/note pad with secondhand #crayola supertips markers

Another amazingly kind and wonderful artistic human I had the pleasure of meeting during @yegartwalk was @crywolf.art
We kept missing each other at markets, but kept in contact on the gram so I was determined to see them Sunday and I'm so grateful I did!! I had to turn this into a reel because look at what I came away with! These photos don't even do these pieces justice.

Please give them a follow and support their work, you will not be disappointed, unless you're a hater 😜

And shoutout to the only other artist who might be kinder @mermaidp_uke because without this sweetiepie I wouldn't have discovered cry.wolf until who knows when? Also that lovely bookmark was made by her 🤭

#throwbackthursday to my humble haul from my first time at @theneurospicymarket !
This market was such a sensory dream, and I love the sentiments behind it.
I didn't feel like I had to spend days recovering as is often the case with other markets I attend. Stepping into a hushed zone melted away any anxieties that were bubbling. I could take my time looking at everything and enjoy! If you would like me to write a more in-depth review vote in the poll or tell me in the comments.

Highly recommend putting their markets on your calendar if you too are #neurospicy🌶 and have sensory needs. taken in Treaty No. 6 Territory by @nierwrites
