My name is Diane, and I am reaching out because I am facing a very difficult time in my life. I am severely disabled and an amputee. Just two months ago, I underwent my second hip surgery, and a year ago, I had major back surgery. Unfortunately, I recently fell and broke the fusion in my spine, which means I now need another extensive back surgery that will last eight hours. The pain and uncertainty have been overwhelming, and I am doing my best to stay strong.

Because of my health challenges, I have needed a caretaker to help me recover after each surgery. This has made it difficult to keep up with my rent, and now I am being evicted from my apartment. I was able to pay what I owed to stay until the end of the month, but I must move out by March 31st. I have called every apartment I can find, but the waiting lists are six months to two years long. I am on a fixed income and am terrified of becoming homeless.

The funds I raise will go directly toward paying for a moving truck and storage for my furniture and belongings. I have found a nearby storage facility and made a reservation, but I need help covering the costs. Any support—whether helping me move or making a donation—would mean so much to me. I am deeply grateful for any help anyone can give during this difficult time. Thank you for reading my story and for considering helping me.
