My name is Sam and I am asking for help during a very difficult time in my life. Chronic back problems, including progressive arthritis and advanced disc issues, have reached the point where I could no longer keep doing my job. Losing my ability to work meant losing my main source of income, and since then I have been trying to manage constant pain while also watching my savings disappear. As if that was not enough, I have also been hit with one emergency after another. My hot water tank failed and had to be replaced, and my vehicle broke down, leaving me without reliable transportation. One of the most heartbreaking parts of all of this was having to re-home some of my beloved pets because I could no longer afford their care.

Now I am falling further behind on bills, rent, utilities, and important home repairs, and I am struggling to keep up with basic household needs. The support from this fundraiser will help me catch up on past-due bills, cover rent and utilities, repair my vehicle, and take care of urgent home repairs so I can have some stability while I continue seeking treatment and trying to get back on my feet. Any help means so much to me right now. If you are able to donate, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser would also be a huge help. Your kindness, empathy, and support truly mean the world to me.
