This is incredibly hard for me to write, but I’m at a point where I truly need help.

The last few months have been some of the hardest of my life. I’ve been out of work for almost two months due to a combination of overwhelming circumstances. I lost my mother recently, and the grief hit me harder than I expected. On top of that, I’ve been struggling with my mental health and doing my best to get back to a stable place.

My job has been incredibly supportive, and I’m grateful for that. But even with a caring workplace, bills, rent, and basic expenses don’t pause when life falls apart. Being out of work has put me in a financial situation I can’t get out of on my own while I try to heal and recover.

I’m asking for help so I can keep myself afloat and get back on my feet.

If you’re able to donate—even a few dollars—it would mean more than I can put into words. And if you can’t donate, I completely understand; sharing this with others would still help me immensely.

This year has pushed me in ways I never expected. It’s humbling to ask for support, but I’m hopeful that with some help, I can get through this and start rebuilding.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for any support you’re able to give—whether through donating or sharing. It truly means the world to me.
