Hi everyone, my name is Nathalie, and I’m humbly asking for support during one of the hardest seasons of my life.

For the past year, I’ve been battling severe gastroparesis, a debilitating condition that has completely changed my day-to-day life. It has taken a major toll on my health, my energy, and my ability to work. I am currently on Long-Term Disability leave, which provides only a portion of my income, and unfortunately it hasn’t been enough to keep up with the growing financial strain.

I’m a mom to three little kids, and they are my entire world. Every day, I push through the pain and uncertainty for them. But as Christmas approaches, the weight on my shoulders feels heavier than ever. I want to give them the warmth, stability, and joy they deserve during the holidays — but right now, even covering basic expenses has become overwhelming.

Between medical appointments, reduced income, and the day-to-day needs of raising three young children, I’ve reached a point where I need help. This isn’t easy for me to ask. I’ve tried to manage everything on my own for as long as I could, but I’m now facing a reality where I can’t do it alone.

Your support — whether through donating or simply sharing this page — would make an incredible difference. Every contribution helps me provide essentials for my kids, keep up with bills, and give them a Christmas that still feels magical despite everything we’re going through.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading my story, for your kindness, and for standing with me during this difficult time. ❤️
