My name is Jean, and I’m reaching out because I’m facing some of the hardest challenges of my life. I’ve been stuck 700 miles from home for almost six months, unable to work and struggling to get by. Recently, I found out I am legally blind after an eye exam for my expired license. Without glasses or contacts, I can’t drive, and I need eye surgery that I simply can’t afford. On top of that, my car is acting up and is currently at risk of being repossessed, which means I could lose my only way to get back home.

Living with COPD has made things even harder. I’ve run out of medication, and it’s become difficult to walk or breathe at times. Every day feels like a struggle just to get through, and I haven’t been able to pay for basic needs, let alone my car payment or medical care. I’m doing my best to stay hopeful, but I need help to get back on my feet, see a doctor, and regain my independence.

It would mean so much to me to receive help from anyone willing to support me. I know times are tough for everyone—I’m living it myself. Any support you can offer will make a real difference in my life, and I would be deeply grateful for your kindness. Thank you so much for reading my story and considering a donation.
