<div>Hi, my name is Kristin, and I’m a 54-year-old single mother who jokingly says I have “33 years of experience being 21.”

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’ve spent my life working hard to support myself and my family — most recently as a server. I’ve always believed in showing up, smiling through the tough days, and earning my way forward.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But a few weeks ago, everything changed. I was injured at work, and though the injury happened during my shift, I had already been approved for a 30-day unpaid vacation that began the very next day. Because I didn’t immediately report the injury while I was off, the company’s insurance adjuster is now denying all my benefits — no medical coverage, no temporary income, and no support.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now, everything I’ve worked for is unraveling.

</div>

<div> My vehicle has been repossessed, leaving me without transportation.

</div>

<div> Medical bills are piling up as I try to recover.

</div>

<div>️ And as of November 4th, I will no longer have a place to live.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’ve never been the type to ask for help. I’ve always been the one people could count on — the one picking up extra shifts or helping a friend in need. But today, I’m the one in need.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m asking for your help to cover the basics:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Temporary housing

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Medical expenses

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Essentials while I recover and get back to work

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every dollar, every share, and every kind word truly matters right now. Your support will help me get stable again, replace what I’ve lost, and start rebuilding my life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you’ve ever faced hard times and wished someone would reach out — that’s what this means to me. Thank you for reading my story, for caring, and for reminding me that hope is still alive. ❤️

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With heartfelt gratitude,

</div>

<div>Kristin
