I’ve always prided myself on making the most of every day, even when life gets repetitive. My mornings start early with a workout, then I head off to work making pizza—the food I love to share with others. It’s a routine that keeps me going, and I do my best to bring a little fun and positivity to each shift.

But one snowy morning, everything changed in an instant. Like everyone else, I went out to clean off my car and gas up before work. As I crossed the parking lot, I hit a patch of black ice. Suddenly, I was airborne, and when I landed, I heard a loud crack and felt a shooting pain in my foot. I was left on the ground, freezing and unable to stand. The paramedics arrived quickly and rushed me to St. Joe’s, but the injury was severe. Now, I’m facing a long recovery and can’t work, with hardly any savings left after two recent car repairs.

With your help, I’ll be able to keep a roof over my head, pay rent, cover medical bills that aren’t fully covered by insurance, buy groceries, and afford gas to get to my medical appointments. Any support you can give will help me get through this tough time and back on my feet. Thank you for considering a donation and for sharing my story!
