About nine years ago, I hurt my back while working. Over the years, my injury got worse, and I eventually lost my job of 15 years because of it. Since then, I have lost everything—my fiancé, my house, and my health. Recently, a hit-and-run accident left my car, the last thing I still had, in a wreck. I have been going through the disability process for over a year now, and things have gotten so bad with my mental health that I attempted suicide to escape the pain and feelings of failure.

Fixing my car would give me back my self-reliance and freedom to go places. Sometimes it’s hard to get a ride, and I usually don’t ask out of fear of being a burden to the people I care about. I am having to depend on my mother and father for everything right now, and it’s not fair to them. They are at the age where they should be enjoying life, not worrying about my problems.

I am hoping for a fresh start, and I am deeply grateful for any help. I pray that the Lord blesses anyone who shows kindness and support.
