Hope Is My Dope

Hello,

My name is Nichole Estill (Nikki or Nikki Ninja to most). I am in dire need of financial assistance following several unexpected and life-altering rare diseases. In 2013 I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and can proudly say that I beat it that time around after many treatments and procedures. In 2017 after years of being dismissed, I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension, which required me to undergo emergency placement of a VP shunt to assist in relieving the pressure building up daily and causing permanent damage. In 2018, a mere six months after my initial shunt placement, I had to have it entirely replaced due to complications regarding shunt malfunction. I was let go from my current position during this time, stating they could not accommodate my needs. I managed to obtain another job and continued working at capacity. On January 11, 2019, I suffered a stroke and gained a subsequent seizure disorder. At that moment, my life was stolen from me. I lost my driving license and was told I was restricted from work until further notice. I had hundreds of seizures daily. Despite rounds and rounds of caustic medications and therapies, these seizures continued for years. I was bed and wheelchair-bound and had to fight back to where I am now. Over the last few years, it was found that I have several tumors growing throughout my neck and body, including a large one wrapped around my jugular. I have managed to be seizure-free for almost ten months. I just gained my driving privileges back in January 2022. Despite the enormous mountain I face, I have been denied state and federal disability. I am not on any government financial assistance, although I have applied for services. I am also currently being sued for $4700 by Capital One Bank. I was on autopay and a medical program that they stopped as a "courtesy" during the pandemic only to turn around and sue me for alleged nonpayment. Everything on that card was medical bills, home bills, and groceries. I only ever used credit in an emergency when absolutely no other options were available. I am currently looking for a position back in pharmacy to take care of everything once again. I am on the brink of losing everything, including my life. I am fighting so hard every single day to make it through. I could never thank you enough if you find it in your heart to help my little family and me. I give back in every way possible and look forward to the day when I can help someone else in an unfortunate circumstance as I have found myself. Thank you for taking the time to even look at this. If you can't donate, that's okay. Please share so that maybe this will reach someone who can. Love you, and there's nothing you can do about it.
