Hi, I'm Laura. I'm reaching out for help for the first time because my family and I are facing a difficult situation. After surviving a domestic violence incident, I was left crippled and now live with constant pain. This has made it hard for me to move quickly or find a job that accepts my limitations. Despite my efforts, I haven't been able to secure work, and it's been a struggle just to get by.

The support from this fundraiser will go directly toward helping my family and me with our bills, as well as purchasing glasses and a scooter so I can get around more easily. These essentials will make a huge difference in our daily lives and help us regain some stability and hope. Your kindness and generosity will mean the world to us during this challenging time.

Thank you for considering a donation. Anything you can give will help us right now, and your prayers for me and my family are deeply appreciated. I am grateful for any support and hope that, with your help, we can move forward together.

This is the first time I've ever asked for help like this, so I'll just say it plain: my family is struggling right now. The medical bills are more than my insurance covers, and I need help ASAP. Anything helps. And if you can't give, please share this — it means more than you know. Thank you for reading."
