<div>I never thought I would find myself in this situation, but life has a way of testing our strength. Today, I’m asking for help as I face one of the hardest battles of my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In November 2023, I had a heart attack that changed everything. When I left the hospital, I was told my kidneys were functioning at only 8%. By December, my doctor said I had reached End Stage Renal Disease and needed to begin dialysis immediately. That moment shattered me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I had to step away from the career I loved as an academic advisor and director—a role where I dedicated my life to helping students achieve their dreams. Now, I’m learning to rebuild my own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even through the pain and exhaustion, I’m still pursuing my doctorate. I refuse to let this diagnosis take away my purpose or my dream of making a difference. I believe that once I get through this, I’ll be in a position to pay it forward—to help others the way I’ve always tried to.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every day is filled with dialysis, doctor appointments, and medications as I wait for a kidney transplant. The financial burden of ongoing treatments, medical bills, and prescriptions has become overwhelming, and I need your help to stay afloat.
</div>

</div>
<div>Your support—through a donation, a share, or a prayer—means more than words can express. You’re not just helping me fight for my life; you’re helping me hold on to my dream and my future.
</div>

</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
