Hi everyone, my name is Lorena Sepulveda.

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart and a lot of humility. Right now, I’m in the hospital fighting a severe kidney infection and a ruptured cyst. I’ve been here for over 5 days, and to be honest, this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to face physically, emotionally, and financially.

It’s not easy for me to ask for help. In fact, it feels incredibly vulnerable to put myself out there like this. But I’m doing it for my three beautiful children, who are my entire world. They’re 15 (my oldest turns 16 tomorrow), 7, and 6 and they depend on me for everything.

Being here in the hospital means I’ve missed almost a full week of work and pay, and the bills are piling up fast. With back-to-school around the corner and my baby’s birthday coming up, the stress is overwhelming. I pray every day to heal quickly and get home to my kids they need their mama. But right now, the doctors can’t say when I’ll be well enough to leave.

If you feel it in your heart to donate, even just $1, please know it truly makes a difference. I’ve never had to ask for help like this before, and I never imagined I’d be in this position. But life has a way of humbling us in ways we never expect.

I’m not just asking for financial help your prayers, your kind words, your encouragement they mean the world right now. Please keep my family and me in your thoughts. I have faith that with a little support and a lot of love, I’ll be back home where I belong.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for anything you’re able to give.

God bless you all & please keep us in your prayers!
