Hi, my name is Stacey, and I’m facing the most frightening moment of my life—I may lose my home in just days. I have lived in my apartment for 14 years. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s my safety, my stability, and the one constant I’ve been able to rely on. Right now, that is about to be taken from me due to a situation I never could have anticipated.
I suffer from severe, chronic pain in my neck, back, and joints. Recently, while helping my sister clear out a storage unit with my late father’s belongings, I pushed myself beyond my physical limits. I am not supposed to lift heavy items, and the strain made my condition dramatically worse. To manage the pain, I was prescribed strong medication—but it left me extremely drowsy and mentally impaired. During that time, I made a serious financial mistake that caused me to fall short on my rent. Now, I am facing eviction and urgently need help to stay in my home. My apartment management is unable to offer any extensions or flexibility.
As if that weren’t enough, I am currently living with a broken right foot and waiting for surgery. I can barely walk, and even basic daily tasks are a struggle. The thought of losing my home in this condition is overwhelming—I truly don’t know how I would survive or recover without a safe place to rest and heal.
It’s not easy for me to ask for help—I’ve always tried to be the one who helps others, and I’ve never been in a position like this before. But right now, I truly need support. I am doing everything I can, but I cannot get through this alone. I am asking for your help. Any amount—no matter how small—brings me closer to staying in my home and avoiding a crisis I may not be able to come back from. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing my story. That alone could make all the difference.
