<div>This past year has been the hardest of my life. A year ago my Mom passed away, and then in January, my husband unexpectedly passed away. I am still learning how to navigate life on my own while grieving both of them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I live with a disability and am unable to work a regular job, but I do everything I can to supplement my disability income by taking on small tasks on the computer. I’m able to manage my bills under normal circumstances, but falling behind has created a snowball effect—and getting caught up is the hard part.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve made payment arrangements where possible, but I’ve fallen behind on essentials. Right now I’m facing:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>$2,600 behind on my mortgage</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>$900 in utilities (currently on a payment arrangement)</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>$260 water bill on final notice - HAS BEEN PAID IN FULL, THANK YOU!</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s a total of $3,660. Even small amounts will help me close the gap—just $10 helps keep my water service on, $25 helps chip away at utilities, and $50 makes a real difference toward my mortgage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m trying my best to live as independently as I can, and I’m deeply grateful for the kindness, support, and encouragement I’ve already received. To anyone able to help me now—whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser—<strong>thank you from the bottom of my heart.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every bit helps, and every gesture keeps me moving forward toward stability while I work to rebuild my life.
</div>
