Hi everyone,

My name is Melly, and I’m a pre-med student working hard to build a future in healthcare. A few months ago, I tore the lateral ligament in my ankle, an injury that has completely changed my daily life due to a domestic violence incident. The physical injury has been painful, but the emotional and financial toll has been just as heavy. What was supposed to be a busy season of school and work has turned into long days of pain, recovery, and uncertainty.

I’m a pre-med student doing my best to stay focused on my dreams, but this injury has forced me to pause work and put much of my life on hold. Without enough PTO hours or a leave of absence, I’ve been struggling to keep up with medical expenses, school tuition, and everyday bills.

I am currently going through this on my own, without family support, and every day is about finding the strength to heal — physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Any amount of help would mean the world to me. Your kindness will help me stay afloat as I recover and rebuild my sense of safety and independence.

I’m sharing my story because any bit of help truly makes a difference right now. Your kindness would not only help me cover my medical and living expenses, but also remind me that I’m not alone in this healing journey.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story, share it, or donate. Your support means more to me than words can express — it gives me strength to keep believing that brighter days are ahead.

With love and gratitude,

Melly

Your generosity will go directly toward:

Medical expenses: doctor visits, physical therapy, medication, and follow-up appointments for my ankle recovery.

Basic living costs: rent, groceries, transportation, and utilities while I’m unable to work.

School-related expenses: tuition payments and educational materials to help me stay enrolled and continue my studies.

Safety and recovery needs: items that help me rebuild a stable, safe environment and regain my independence after this traumatic event.
