Hi everyone,

My name is Maria. If you know me, you know I’m not someone who asks for help—but right now, I truly need it.

At just 25 years old, I was recently diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia, a rare autoimmune disease that affects my bone marrow and immune system. Because of my condition, I am currently unable to work. I also do not have health insurance, and the medical bills are quickly piling up.

My husband, Marcus, is also out of work while waiting for his ID appointment, which has made things even more difficult. We have a child to care for, and right now we are struggling to keep up with basic expenses and hospital costs.

I will be on immune-suppressing medications as I prepare for a bone marrow transplant, and the road ahead is overwhelming. Any support—whether financial, sharing this message, or simply prayers—would mean more to us than words can express.

Thank you in advance for your kindness, love, and support during this difficult time. God bless you all.
