I never thought I would be able to ask for help in public—it's really, really hard to do this. Seven months ago, I was bitten by something I still can't identify. Since then, my life has been turned upside down. I haven't been able to work, and I've come close to losing everything. Even my hair started falling out about a month ago, adding to the stress and uncertainty. In September, I applied for disability, but the process is still ongoing, and I have no idea when I'll get a decision.

Right now, I need help covering my basic living expenses—things like rent, groceries, and the everyday essentials that keep me going. I've used up all my savings and safety cushion just trying to get by. It's been incredibly hard to ask for help, but I know I can't do this alone.

If you're able to support me, even a little, it would mean the world. Your kindness will help me push through this difficult time and give me hope while I wait for disability support. Thank you so much for considering a donation and for being there when I need it most.
