Hi everyone,

I never imagined I’d be in a place where I’d need to ask for help, but here I am, heartbroken and overwhelmed. This morning, my car was broken into during my very first week of work—something I had worked tirelessly to get. All of my hard-earned investments were stolen: my MacBook, camera and essential equipment, headphones, my personal fitness trainer books and gym gear, and sensitive documents. My car’s engine was also tampered with, forcing me to consult a mechanic, adding car difficulties for the drive I have to make to work from DTLA to Anaheim 6 days a week.

I just passed my personal trainer fitness program which is something I am very passionate about and working hard towards achieving.

This is not just about the material losses—it’s about everything I’ve worked for, my dreams, my future, and the emotional toll this is taking. I had just started to build a life, to take control of my circumstances after my family’s company is struggling financially, and now everything feels like it’s slipping through my fingers.

I’m humbly asking for any help, no matter how small, to help me rebuild. They say, “when it rains it pours” but hopefully with your support, I can begin to get back on my feet and keep pushing forward.

If you can donate or share my story, it would mean more than I can express right now. Thank you
