Hi, my name is Jesse Ortiz, and I’m currently facing an unexpected financial emergency while on short-term disability in Anderson. I’ve been out of work for nearly three weeks, and my short-term disability case is still pending. I have not received any payment yet, and bills continue to accumulate. On March 5th, I am scheduled to undergo hernia surgery. Because my job requires heavy, physically demanding labor, my recovery will require approximately one additional month away from work after surgery. That means extended time without income while I heal properly.

At the same time, my vehicle now requires urgent repairs. Reliable transportation is critical for getting to and from surgery, attending follow-up medical appointments, managing essential daily needs, and returning to work once I’m medically cleared. The funds raised will help cover these urgent car repairs and support me through this difficult period.

Any support you can offer would mean the world to me during this challenging time. Thank you for considering a donation or sharing my story.
