Hi, my name is Tracy, and I'm normally the one helping others, but I've fallen on some rough times the last two months. I was hospitalized in September, and the doctors diagnosed me with a serious lung disease called ARDS, which is Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. This is partially caused by my body's unnatural retention of fluids, causing me to have congestive heart failure, and painful edema, or swelling, in my legs and feet to the point I can barely walk on my own.

Two days after my release from the hospital, we had the unfortunate experience of having hurricane Ian come knocking on our door. After a week with no power, we were graced with a 24 hour eviction notice as well. My family is divided, we lost 90% of our belongings, and right now, any help is appreciated. Thank you.
