Your help: 1 surgery, 2 lives

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Su'cuy Reader,

I’m reaching out today with something deeply personal and urgent. My wife Jiana has been struggling with severe health issues that have worsened over the past few months, and we need your support to get her the help she urgently needs.

After countless doctor visits, we discovered she has a fractured tooth that caused a serious infection. This infection has spread across the right side of her face and up into her sinus cavity, affecting the roots and gums in a way antibiotics alone can’t fix. If left untreated, this infection could cause extreme bone loss and severe dental problems - and could even become life-threatening if it enters her bloodstream.

If you’d like to read more or help, here’s the link to the campaign.

Jiana and I recently celebrated our 26 year Anniversary. It’s devastating to watch someone you love endure this and feel powerless to fix it. Financially, the past couple of years have been tough, as my 3D printed cosplay business faced significant challenges. I’ve taken on part-time work to help, but it’s still not enough.

That’s why we’ve started a GoFundMe campaign: to raise funds for this urgent surgery that can restore Jiana’s health and prevent further complications. If you can, please consider donating or sharing our story with your network. Every single contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to saving Jiana’s smile and wellbeing.

Again, here’s the link to the campaign.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your kindness means more than words can express.

With gratitude,

Su'cuy Reader, Quick clarification about Etsy’s updated rules for 3D printed items: If you’re selling raw 3D prints of my designs on Etsy - as in, unmodified prints straight from the printer - those listings are not allowed under Etsy’s current Creativity Standard (as of June 10, 2025). Even if a previous copyright claim was retracted, that only clears your record; it does not give permission to relist raw prints. However, if you significantly modify the prints (such as sanding, painting, or...
