After years of battling multiple health issues, I was recently diagnosed with Auto Brewery Syndrome, a rare condition that affects my body in ways I never could have imagined. Thankfully, this condition is treatable with the right combination of medication, diet, and supplements. However, it has been a difficult journey.

Just recently, I experienced a severe episode while at work, resulting in convulsions that led to an ambulance being called. As a direct consequence of this health crisis, I lost my job and my car. This has left me without the ability to get medical care, pick up prescriptions, or even attend necessary doctor appointments.

Without a vehicle or health insurance, I'm now in a position where I am unable to afford the treatments I need, and I’ve also found myself unable to keep up with basic living expenses, including my mortgage. I’ve applied for disability, food assistance, and unemployment, but the road ahead is uncertain, and the financial strain is overwhelming.

I’m reaching out today because I need help, and I find it difficult to ask, but I have no other options left. My home is the last thing I have, and without your support, I fear I may lose it. While food stamps will help with groceries, I currently have no way to transport myself to the store or to access the basic necessities I need.

If you can find it in your heart to donate, even a small amount, it would mean the world to me and make all the difference in getting me the help I need to start healing and rebuilding.

With heartfelt gratitude,
