My name is Ashley, and I’m reaching out during one of the most challenging times of my life. I have been diagnosed with Schmorl's nodes and a bilateral pars defect—two spine conditions that cause severe back pain and have made it impossible for me to work. Since June of 2025, I have been homeless, and I have not had a vehicle since October of 2025. Recently, I was able to get a small RV, which has given me a bit of stability, but I am still facing many daily challenges without reliable transportation.

The need for a vehicle has become urgent. Without one, I can’t get to my medical and therapy appointments, which are essential for managing my condition and working toward recovery. Most importantly, having a vehicle is a crucial step in reuniting with my children, who mean the world to me. This past year has been especially hard, as I lost my significant other to suicide in 2023. The loss has left a deep void, but I am determined to keep moving forward for myself and my family.

I sincerely do not like to ask for help, but when I turned to my Bible, I was reminded not to be prideful and to reach out in times of need. If you are able to support me, please know that your kindness will make a real difference in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering a donation or sharing my story.
