This is one of the hardest things I ever had to do. I never imagined I’d be in this position, but right now I’m facing a very sudden and overwhelming crisis.

I am a DeafBlind woman with no income, and by the end of February, my mom, my dog, and I have to leave the home we’re in. This wasn’t planned. The family who lived here before us fell on hard times and needs to move back in, and we were given very short notice to leave. We had no chance to save, and we are already barely surviving.

In just a matter of weeks, we will have nowhere permanent to go.

To make things even harder, my dog—who is my emotional support and safety companion—will have to temporarily live with another family because we won’t have stable housing right away. I need help covering his food, grooming, and care while we’re separated. Losing him, even temporarily, is heartbreaking, but I want to make sure he’s safe and cared for while I fight to get back on my feet.

We will be staying with my sister briefly, but her space is very small, and we are only allowed to stay for about two weeks. I also want to help her by contributing to one of her bills, because she is already struggling herself and I don’t want to be a burden to her.

The funds raised will help with:

• First and last month’s rent and securing a safe place to live

• Moving, packing supplies, and transportation

• Food and personal hygiene items while we get situated

• Care, food, and grooming for my dog while we’re separated

• Supporting my sister while we temporarily stay with her

Beyond this immediate crisis, I am also trying to build a future where I don’t have to keep asking for help. I’m a YouTuber documenting my journey as a DeafBlind woman, and I’m working toward becoming a self-published author. Part of this fundraiser will help me eventually invest in my books—editing, cover design, and publishing—so I can create income, independence, and stability long-term.

This is not a handout. It’s a hand up during one of the hardest seasons of my life.

I am scared, exhausted, and overwhelmed—but I am holding onto faith.

Romans 8:18 (KJV) says:

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”

If you feel led to help—whether by donating, sharing, or sending encouragement—I am deeply grateful. Your support is helping me survive this moment and move toward a future where I can stand on my own.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for walking with me through this season.
