Dear friends, family, and community,

I am reaching out during one of the most difficult times of my life. Due to a recent major illness and an extended hospital stay without insurance coverage, I am now facing overwhelming medical bills. On top of that, I have been unable to work and have several weeks more of recovery ahead. This unexpected financial hit has been truly crippling, and it’s been hard to see a way forward while focusing on healing.

I am doing everything I can to get back on my feet, but right now, I need help. The funds raised here will go directly toward my medical bills and essential living expenses while I recover. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help relieve some of the financial stress caused by this medical emergency and allow me to focus on getting better.

If you are able to contribute any amount, it would make a tremendous difference. Your support—whether through donations or simply sharing this fundraiser—means more than you know. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, compassion, and support during this challenging time.

With gratitude,

Ely
