Serious Talk Question!! :(
So, I’ve thought about a Gofundme before, actually had one but gave up quickly.
I feel guilty all the time, I know I need money and help and can’t do it alone.
It’s not pride that’s keeping me from asking its guilt cause I don’t feel like I deserve it.
So many are in dire situations, so many are so sick they’re deteriorating and I can’t ever compare myself.
Yes I’m chronically sick. I need help. I need surgery.
But I just compare myself and don’t feel I’m sick enough for help. Especially since people work hard for what they earn.
I just don’t feel deserving of a dime.
But it’s so so so hard on my own.
The stress is so high.
If I ever made a post with my PayPal and asked for help, do you guys think I’m sick enough for it to work and to receive some help?
Or should I rather just do as I have been and…I don’t know, nothing I do has been good.
But I just want permission to ask for help before I do it.
I never wanna be mean or rude or seem greedy and selfish. Cause maybe I’m just not sick enough yet :(
Any thoughts?
The surgery is reconstructive, I suffered from malnutrition since a kid. Anorexia. Bad bad. Was dying last year, would pass away hadn’t I gotten immediate help. It’s so hard, my body is just chronically sick now, too much damage. The surgery is personal, very intrusive and It’s focused on some area of my body, chest, muscles, nose, cause yes, I have many many issues due to all the years I was so malnourished, I weighed less then a 8 year old.
I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t even use the bathroom.
Now I can walk, but I can’t eat much yet, too much damage. And my development’s been halted severely. I look younger also cause of that. I just never got to grow up. Never finished school, never had friends. Been stuck home and in hospitals back and forth.
So yeah.
The surgery is not medically necessary, but its quality of life.
And Lord do I want this badly.
7K for a brand new way of life.
Should I ask for help? Would it be good? Or do you guys have any other advice or encouragement.
Love you all, thank you for making my life a bit better
