Life has been really hard lately, and asking for help is not something that comes easy to me, but right now I truly need it. I recently had surgery and have already been out of work for two weeks, with at least three more weeks still ahead of me before I can return. During this time, bills have continued piling up, and the stress has been overwhelming while trying to focus on healing. I’m doing everything I can on my own. I support my daughter and also took in another child into my home last summer to help give them stability and support. I do not receive any outside help or government assistance, and unfortunately my food stamp application was denied. On top of everything, my daughter is graduating next month, which has brought additional expenses during an already difficult time. My car note, insurance, and several other bills are now past due, and I’m struggling to keep everything together until I can get back to work. If anyone is able to help in any way — whether it’s donating, sharing this post, or even just sending prayers and encouragement — it would mean more to me than I can put into words. I’m just trying to make it through this difficult season, heal properly, and keep a roof over our heads while taking care of my family. Thank you so much for reading, sharing, and supporting us during this time.
