Hi, my name is Leah, and I never imagined I would be in a position where I needed to ask for help like this.

Over the past month, my life has been turned upside down by a serious personal and medical crisis. I am currently recovering from a traumatic brain injury, brain bleed, and skull fracture. I am also navigating multiple ongoing legal situations related to domestic violence and child custody. Because of this, I have been unable to work and have quickly fallen behind financially.

As part of this situation, I was left without access to my financial resources, which has made rebuilding even more urgent.

I am doing everything I can to move forward—securing legal representation, focusing on my recovery, and trying to create a safe, stable environment for myself and my children. But right now, the financial burden is overwhelming.

I am facing:

* Rent and basic living expenses

* Legal fees (including an immediate $4,500 retainer balance)

* Medical and recovery-related costs without health insurance

* Existing financial obligations I am working hard to repay

I have always been independent and worked hard to support myself, so asking for help is not easy. But at this moment, I truly need support to get through this period and rebuild.

If you’re able to donate, share, or even just send encouragement, it would mean more than I can express. Every contribution goes directly toward helping me stabilize and move forward.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for being part of my support system during one of the hardest times in my life.
