I've been out of work since the end of December with major back issues that have made it impossible for me to return to work. As the weeks have gone by, the financial strain has become overwhelming. I’ve always tried to provide for my family and keep up with our bills, but right now, I’m falling further behind each month. Not being able to purchase gifts for my children’s birthdays has been especially hard, and it’s difficult to see them go without during these special moments.

The funds raised will go directly toward covering the basics—food for my family, keeping the lights and heat on, making sure our car payment and insurance are up to date, and paying our property tax. Every bit of support will help me keep things afloat while I focus on recovering and getting back to work. I want to thank everyone for the help—anything truly helps. I’m not usually one to ask for help, but right now, I’m falling behind and could use a hand. Your kindness and support mean more than I can say, and I’m grateful for any help you can offer.
