My name is Julie, and I’m reaching out during one of the most difficult and darkest times of my life. I am currently in treatment for an illness that has forced me to quit my job and focus on rest and recovery. As a single mom and only provider, this sudden change has made things especially challenging, both emotionally and financially. Every day, I’m doing my best to care for myself and my children, but the weight of treatment costs and daily expenses, on top of this illness, comes with an additional collapse and hopelessness in my body. The funds raised here will go directly toward covering my bills, ongoing treatment costs, and helping me secure a new living situation for my family. Your support will make it possible for us to keep a roof over our heads, and ensure I can continue the treatment and recovery I need to get better. It’s not easy to ask for help, but I know that I can’t do this alone, and every bit of support brings us closer to stability and hope. My children are the reason I keep going. Their love and trust in me give me strength on the hardest days. I’ve faced moments during this illness that were darker than I ever imagined, and I’m deeply grateful to still be here. What I’m asking for now is some financial relief—so I can focus on healing, be present for my children, and give them the stability and safety they deserve. I feel so grateful for the people who have reached out throughout this nightmare. I’m learning more and more that we truly are here to help one another and that I’m not actually alone in this life. If you feel called to help, please know that your support is not just financial—it’s a reminder that we’re not meant to carry heavy seasons alone. Thank you for reading my story and for any help you can offer, even sharing my fundraiser is just as meaningful. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here.
