My name is Elizabeth, and I’m reaching out because I’m facing a difficult time. I’m on disability and unable to work, and recently my property and school taxes increased significantly due to a city fiscal crisis. This unexpected rise has made it nearly impossible for me to keep up, and I’m worried about losing my home.

Over the past year, I’ve undergone two major back fusion surgeries—each lasting over nine hours. The first surgery didn’t hold, so I had to go through the entire process again. I wish I could work and support myself, but my health challenges have made that impossible for now. The stress of these medical issues, combined with the financial burden of rising taxes, has been overwhelming.

Your support would mean the world to me. Every donation, no matter the size, will help me stay in my home and relieve some of the financial stress I’m under. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing my story. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and support. If I can’t pay my taxes, I risk losing more than just my home—I risk losing my stability and peace of mind.
