I'm currently on medical leave from my job at a state agency due to severe PTSD. Over the past months, I've relied on donated benefit time to keep things afloat, but now all of that time has run out. As of this week, I have no income coming in, and the weight of supporting not just my own family, but also my granddaughter's, has become overwhelming. We're facing the reality of trying to cover our mortgage, utilities, and groceries for two families—seven people in total—without any financial resources left.

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward keeping our home safe and warm, making sure everyone has enough to eat, and helping us get through this incredibly tough period. Every bit of support will help us maintain stability and provide for the people who depend on me most.

All of you have been here for me, I wish for an opportunity to be here for them. Anything you can give will make a real difference for us right now. Thank you for your kindness and support.
