<div>For nearly a decade, I have been living with a diagnosis that changed my life forever: cholangiocarcinoma. Since 2016, this journey has tested my strength, my faith, and my resilience in ways I never could have imagined. Through it all, I have continued to show up—for my work, my community, and the people I love—doing my best to live with purpose and hope despite the challenges.

<div>In September 2025, my fight took a more difficult turn. I underwent brain surgery to remove tumors, a procedure that required immense courage and has come with a long and ongoing recovery. Since that time, I have been unable to work as I focus on healing, attending medical appointments, and regaining my strength day by day.

<div>This has not been easy. Beyond the physical and emotional toll, the financial strain has become overwhelming. Medical bills, daily living expenses, and the uncertainty of what lies ahead have created a burden that I can no longer carry alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I am reaching out to my friends, family, and community for support during this critical time. If you are able, I humbly ask for your help—whether through a donation, sharing this page, or simply keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference in helping me focus on what matters most: my recovery and my continued fight.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your support means more to me than words can express. It is a reminder that I am not alone on this journey, and that even in the hardest moments, I am surrounded by love, compassion, and hope.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for standing with me.
