Assist in Rebuilding After Tragic Losses

Donation protected
It seems like the rough times just won’t end. Over the last three years, I’ve almost lost everything. I’ve tried to pull myself out of everything by myself, but I’m finally to the point where I’m asking for help.

First, I lost my 16-year career as an educator due to being injured by two students and getting no support from my admin. Then I proceeded to get Covid six times. It completely wrecked my system and has caused me to be very lethargic and get sick very easily. This has caused me to lose my passion and career in music because my lungs and immune system have been very affected.

Then, I tried to start a new career and went to school to become an aesthetician. The school I was going to ended up closing for no reason, and prior to that, they fired all the aesthetician teachers. I was about 2/3 of the way through the program when I found out that my mom had cancer.

In 2023, my mom was diagnosed with stage three and then stage four lung and liver cancer. She passed away in September 2024. It has been the hardest thing I’ve gone through in my entire life.

Now I’m dealing with the economic effects of everything, and I tried to save my house, but unfortunately, I’m losing it. I spent a lot of money trying to save it, and now I’m looking at a scary future without your help. I was just able to secure an apartment, but I need to be able to come up with some money to move and have money for all of the new apartment expenses that you have to pay to move into an apartment.

Finally, our tattoo shop has been very dead due to the economy and no one being able to afford luxury services like tattoos that are not necessary. So, we are about to lose a business that we poured our hearts into for the last five years.

I am a very shy and proud person, and I never wanted to have to ask for help. But now I have to.

Please help us get through this hard time. I’m someone that always tries to help everybody else, but right now I need your help. 

Thank you!
