I am currently disabled and unable to work due to spinal injuries. My life changed in 2021 when I suffered a serious fall, and since then, I haven’t been able to return to work. Despite my best efforts, I was denied disability and SSI, and I am still fighting to get the support I need. Every day is a challenge as I battle depression and anxiety, all while trying to keep up with mounting bills and credit card debt. I do my best to help my parents with their bills, but my resources are running thin. The settlement I received from Starbucks after my fall went toward medical care and living expenses, but now I find myself in the red, struggling to make ends meet.

Recently, I learned that I have two herniated discs in my spine, and the damage has started to affect my hips and knees as well. The pain and mobility issues make it even harder to get by, and the medical costs keep adding up. Your support would help me cover essential medical care and pay down some of the debt that’s been weighing me down. I am doing everything I can to stay hopeful and keep moving forward, but I can’t do it alone.

Don’t give up when you're low, even when the world around you is falling apart, because someone is there to help you. If you’re able to donate or share my story, it would mean the world to me. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can offer.
