Hello everyone, my name is Claudia, and I'm humbly reaching out during one of the hardest seasons of my life.

On May 8, 2024, I lost my job due to a company-wide layoff. Since then, l've done everything I could to stay afloat delivering for Instacart and Favor just to keep a roof over my head and pay my bills.

But despite my best efforts, it just wasn't enough. In May 2025, I had to return my car to the Credit Union after months of exhaustion and stress trying to hold on. That car was my lifeline not just for work, but for my medical appointments and daily needs too.

My job had also provided

PPO insurance that allowed me to receive care at MD Anderson Cancer Center, where I’ve been a patient. Unfortunately, MD Anderson doesn’t accept any Obamacare plans, so when I lost my job, I also lost access to my doctors, medications, and critical treatments.

A few years ago, I moved to Houston to be closer to MD Anderson so I wouldn’t have to keep driving from Frisco or staying in hotels for long periods that was so expensive. But after my layoff, I lost my apartment too, and with it, the sense of stability l'd worked so hard for.

I placed everything I owned into storage family heirlooms, my bed, dresser, couch, 90% of my clothes, winter coats and shoes, my children's childhood photos, a funeral plaque from my mom's passing, and this special Bible my late brother gave me. These are not just things they are the memories, history, and love of my family that I cannot replace.

Now, I'm facing another heartbreak. On October 15, 2025, I lost my storage unit and everything inside of it. Losing those precious memories truly broke me, because they represent the life and people who've shaped me.

I still need help with my 

Cell phone - $40

Healthcare $48.88

Electric - $170

Through all of this, l've been so blessed by my beautiful daughter, my two loving sisters, my dear sister-friends, and my four special cousins who have been absolute God-sent angels in my life. They’ve encouraged me, prayed for me, and lifted me when I could barely stand.

But they each have their own challenges health struggles, financial burdens, and family responsibilities and I completely understand. Right now, I'm staying temporarily in a kind family member's home a home they no longer live in and are preparing to sell due to their own hardship. I'm so grateful they opened their doors to me, but that time is coming to an end, and I'll soon need to find somewhere else to go.

Sadly, l've also experienced betrayal and hurt from people I thought loved me being judged, made fun of, and told cruel things like

"that's what you get."

The tears l've cried could fill rivers but even through that pain, I still choose faith over bitterness, love over anger, and hope over despair. This past March and July I was fighting for my Life! The picture in pink is showing me always giving God praises. It’s an old picture from 2017.

Even in this storm, I know God is not finished with me.

I've had several job interviews in the last few weeks and believe a job offer is coming soon. I just need help getting through this transition.

I don't have funds for

application fees, deposits, or moving expenses, and I'm still covering utilities (lights and water) where l'm staying. Every little bit helps and brings me one step closer to stability and peace.

The emotional and mental strain has been overwhelming, but my faith keeps me standing. I know God is still working behind the scenes, and I believe He will make a way.

If you can find it in your heart to donate or share my story, it would mean the world to me. Your support will help

me:

* Need help paying my phone to receive work calls, pay medical insurance to get medications needed to live and electric bill.

* Continue my MD Anderson medical care and medications

* Secure a safe place to live and rebuild my life

This is not easy to ask, but I'm trusting that God will touch the hearts of those meant to help me.

From the bottom of my heart thank you for your kindness, prayers, and generosity.

To include a week or so ago due to all the stress my MS is flared so I was trying to boil some water in the microwave and the bowl was so hot I dropped it and the water got on my shirt burned my stomach now I have burn marks. 

I also, have a nodule on my clavicle by neck of my throat that I have to go to the Oncologist about. 

I truly believe a new

beginning is coming, and I'm ready to receive it.

God Bless You Always, Claudia
