💻 New Site, New Video, Same Old Us (But Louder)

Hey friends, fam, fellow spoonies, and curious internet wanderers —

We’ve been busy. Like, “David built a whole website, Shaina worked her ass off to the extreme, and we recorded a trailer without collapsing” busy. So here’s a little update on everything we’ve been cooking up over here at Team Shaina Comeback HQ.

🚨 We officially launched davidandshaina.com!

This site is our new home on the web — part blog, part resource hub, part digital hug. It’s where we’ll be sharing updates on Shaina’s health, our advocacy work, and the behind-the-scenes chaos (yes, spreadsheets are involved) that is chronic illness life.

🎥 We made a video!

Okay, not just a video — a trailer. A mini-doc. A love letter and a truth bomb in one.
In it, we introduce ourselves, explain ME/cfs, EDS, and CCI, and talk about what this upcoming surgery could mean for Shaina’s life. Spoiler: a lot.

Watch it here or on our Support page — and maybe keep a tissue nearby.

We have another (40 minute!) video version that explains everything in more detail (Shaina loves detail!) coming soon!

💜 GoFundMe is live — and we need your help

The medical system is... well, let’s just say it’s not built for people like Shaina. We’ve been paying out of pocket for years, and this next round of surgery, travel, housing, and recovery support is going to cost real money.

If you’ve ever wanted to help but weren’t sure how — this is it. Every donation gets us closer to stability, to healing, and to a version of life where Shaina isn’t stuck in bed, dealing with the fallout of pushing past her limits.
