I'm reaching out because I'm going through a difficult financial season and could really use some help getting back on stable ground.

I was laid off from my job in February of last year, and since then I've been doing everything I can to find consistent work and keep up with my responsibilities. Unfortunately, the extended gap in income has made it increasingly difficult to stay caught up with my bills.

I'm also dealing with ongoing sciatica, which has added another challenge while I'm trying to work and get my finances back on track.

I'm hoping to raise $3,000 to help cover my upcoming mortgage payment and essential household bills. This would give me some breathing room while I continue working toward more consistent income and getting through this difficult period. My goal isn't to stay dependent on assistance. I'm simply asking for a little help getting through a particularly difficult stretch so I can keep my home, stay current on my essential expenses, and continue toward my independence.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. ANY AMOUNT WOULD HELP AND BE APPRECIATED

I know that times are hard for many people, so I'm incredibly grateful for anything you're able to contribute.

Even a small donation or simply sharing this fundraiser would be enough.
