Hello, I am reaching out for help during one the most difficult moments of my life. At the moment, I am unable to support myself, not because I don’t want to, but because my health has made it challenging. I have always worked. I worked through multiple diagnoses and setbacks involving my health. But this year the cumulative toll finally caught up with me.

️I am living with multiple chronic medical conditions. Each presents its own challenges, but together they have limited the kind of work I can reliably perform. Over time, these illnesses have eroded my strength, mobility, and energy, making prolonged sitting and walking difficult. With my declining health, the ability to maintain regular employment became untenable.

I was derailed earlier this year by a two-month hospital stay. Now, I have no income and no financial support. I’m doing everything I can to apply for assistance, disability, and local programs, but those systems move slowly.

I am asking for your help to cover my rent for the next two months.

Without help, I am at risk of eviction. The thought of losing my home while battling cancer, heart disease, and complications from surgery is overwhelming.

Your donation — no matter how small — would literally keep me housed. $5 makes a difference. Sharing this link helps more than you know. If you’ve ever helped a stranger, I’m asking: please help me now.

I never expected to need the kindness of strangers, but right now, that kindness is what stands between me and losing this winter.

Thank you for caring enough to read my story.

And thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for any help you can
