I have lived with a birth defect that affects my kidneys and blood pressure, and over time, it led to a stroke that changed my life. Before the stroke, I worked hard climbing roofs for a living, but now my balance is permanently affected. Some days, I need a cane just to walk, and the brain damage from the stroke has made it impossible for me to drive or work in other jobs like Uber Eats or DoorDash. I have applied for disability, but the process takes time, and I am running out of options.

I am at risk of losing my home in just two weeks. The funds raised here will help me stay in my home while I wait for disability benefits to be approved. This support means everything to me, as I am fighting for my life every day—not just for myself, but for my loyal dog who depends on me. If I lose my home, I fear I won't survive, and my dog will suffer too.

I am deeply grateful for any assistance, no matter how small. Your support will help me and my dog stay together and give me hope as I work toward recovery. Thank you for reading my story and considering a donation.
