Hello my loves. I’m sorry all I do is come on here and ask for help, but my health is deteriorating and it’s just necessary at this point for me to ask for help again. Please, if you’re able…

GoFundMe

Hello loves! It’s my birthday on Saturday. Would you consider donating?

Hi friends. I’m asking for help again. I’ve gotta move out of the home I love because I’m going to need a wheelchair soon and my condo is on the 2nd floor. I have a mortgage and rent that I’m paying right now as I wait for the house to sell.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to send out a reminder that my GoFundMe is still active if you can spare some change for a terminally ill old whumper.

I am also selling several items through Poshmark if anyone would rather support me there:

All of those are Coach bags, if you’re a fan. I’m selling my collection to raise money.

Thank you so much for all the love and support.

I got a handicap placard for my car today. I didn’t think it would hurt as much as it did. I know it’s a tool and it’s only there to help me, but somehow it makes this all seem so much more real. 😢

Hello lovelies.

I don’t exactly know how to do this, but here goes.

You haven’t seen me around lately because I’ve been dealing with some pretty serious health issues. Turns out I’ve got this very rare genetic disorder that’s only going to get progressively worse from here on out. It’s called Spinocerebeller Ataxia, if you want to look it up. It attacks my cerebellum causing balance and coordination issues. And, as of right now, there is no cure and no treatment. It’s a terminal diagnosis.

I struggled for a long time trying to decide if I should tell you guys about this or not. Or if I should just slowly fade out of your collective recollections like a happy memory, but then I thought about how nobody in my real life really knows about this wonderful community, and how they wouldn’t know to tell you all once I was gone. And I couldn’t just drop off the face of the planet like that without some kind of explanation. And… well, I just really miss you guys, too

I have no idea how long I’m going to have. This disease is so rare and it affects everyone so differently, but I think doing some gifs and getting back into reblogging whump might help. So I’m going to try and finish up all the requests I have over at my gifs blog and get this blog active again.

I hope it was the right decision to tell you guys. In fact, I may share some of my journey on here if you’d rather unfollow me so you don’t have to read about it. This is heavy and I don’t expect anyone to stick around for it. But I also could have another 5-10 years, depending on how my disease progresses, and I’m going to make the most of it. It’s just going to be very hard fought. I’m disabled now and I need all the love and support I can get as I traverse this new normal. I can still work and I’m still mobile for now, but that’s changing fast. I start physical and speech therapy soon, and hopefully that will help with some of my symptoms.

I love you all so much and I’m happy to answer any of your questions over DM but, please forgive me if I don’t respond to many asks publicly.

Love you always,

Marie
