Help Trusley Avoid Eviction During Medical Leave
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Trusley, and as much as I hate to ask for help, I am in a space of desperation and could really use it. Last month, on September 5th, 2024, I unexpectedly was hospitalized for several days and diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis, which is where your immune system attacks your liver. I had already missed a few days of work that week leading up to being admitted (I was in acute liver failure and didn't know), and ever since being discharged from the hospital, I have only managed to successfully complete a handful of days of work between being in and out of the hospital and out of work due to pain, nausea, and more associated with my liver.
I was stressed about finances and overzealous about getting back to work, not realizing just how much my body has needed to truly recover. My liver enzymes continue to go down, which is great, but I am still not out of the woods. I have weekly labs and check-ins I have to do for my liver, but also, because I have other things going on with my health that kind of all tie together, I will be having 3-5 doctor's appointments weekly for the next couple of months. Considering this, I have had to make the tough decision to take a medical leave of absence from work and have started that process between Paid Leave Oregon and Short Term Disability.
Unfortunately, I am behind on rent and other bills, and desperately need to get caught up to avoid eviction to hold me over the next few weeks until PLO and Disability start paying out. I am hoping to raise upwards of $2,000; however, literally ANYTHING is such a huge help right now, and I thank anyone in advance that is able to help because I know many could use it right now. Again, thank you so much in advance for anything!
