Help Carmen Overcome Medical & Financial Hardship

Donation protected
I have always worked hard and tried to do the right thing, but life has thrown me some tough challenges. Since 2021, I have been living with mental health struggles, seizures, depression, anxiety, and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Becoming disabled meant I had to stop working after decades of supporting myself. While waiting for SSDI to be approved, I sold everything I could, including my car, just to get by. Even now, with SSDI, it’s a struggle to cover basic needs.

I have tried to keep going by running a small online store and selling at craft events, but the costs often outweigh the income. Six months ago, I financed a car to help me get to appointments and try to rebuild, but now I owe more than it’s worth and can’t sell it. My medical bills are piling up, including co-payments for my RA injection and specialists treating my mental health, seizures, and vision. My next car payment and rent are due soon, and my credit card is maxed out from trying to keep up.

I am not looking for pity—just a little help to get through this difficult time. Your support will make a real difference in my life, and I will be forever grateful for any help you can provide to help me regain my health and stability.
