I am a caregiver and housekeeper who has always worked hard to support others. Fourteen days ago, I fell and broke my shoulder, and now I need surgery. This injury means I’ll be out of work for at least six more weeks, and I have no income until I can return. I’m reaching out to my family, friends, and clients to help me get through this difficult time.

Support from my community would mean the world to me. Those who I work for know how dedicated, honest, and trustworthy I’ve been over the years. Your help will allow me to cover rent, phone, and car payments while I recover, so I can focus on healing without the stress of unpaid bills. I don’t squander money—I work diligently to keep my bills paid, and I would be so grateful for everyone’s help to get me through this moment.

I am usually the one who takes care of others and does what I can for anyone who asks, but this time the helper needs help. Every bit of support will allow me to stay current on my bills and keep my home. I appreciate every one of you and look forward to getting back to the work I love as soon as my shoulder is healed.
