Over the last several years, our family has been navigating a long and exhausting road created by serious medical challenges and prolonged disability delays. My husband, Tyrell, has been unable to work due to his health, and we have been waiting far longer than expected for Social Security Disability to be resolved. We finally have a disability hearing scheduled for May, which is a critical step forward, but we are facing an immediate gap before we can get there.

I have been working long hours doing everything possible to keep our household afloat, and Tyrell continues to do everything he can within his limitations. Despite relentless effort, the math simply does not work right now.

Within the next seven days, we are facing urgent, non-negotiable expenses that must be covered to prevent devastating consequences. These include essential housing costs and critical medical bills directly tied to Tyrell’s condition. Without immediate stabilization, we risk not being able to cover any of these things.

The immediate need is $10,000, which would allow us to:

Cover essential medical expenses required to maintain Tyrell’s care

Keep a roof over our heads and lights on

Buy time while we await the May disability hearing

This is not a long-term ask. This is a short-term bridge during a system delay that has left us vulnerable despite ongoing effort and work.

Asking for help does not come easily, but silence would cost us everything. If you can contribute, share, or support us in any way, it truly makes a difference.

We are committed to continuing to work, rebuilding stability, and honoring every ounce of support shown to us during this moment. Thank you for standing with us while we navigate a process that moves far slower than real life allows.

With deep gratitude,

Amanda
