Hi, my name is Brooke, and I’m creating this fundraiser to help with medical expenses related to my hypothyroidism. This condition has made it incredibly difficult to maintain a normal life as I’m constantly exhausted and dealing with severe joint pain that’s unusual for someone my age. I’ve always prided myself on being a hard worker, so not being able to keep up with work has been emotionally devastating and has led to depression. On top of that, I’m currently in college studying graphic design, and the demanding hours make it even harder to keep a job while managing my health. Any support would mean the world to me as I work toward getting the care I need and staying on track with my education.
