My name is Samantha, and I am reaching out for help as I work to get back on my feet after a series of overwhelming hardships. Since August 2023, my life has been turned upside down by health challenges and financial setbacks. It began with a hospitalization for internal bleeding, which led to decreased mental clarity and forced me to resign from my corporate job. Hoping to regain control, I started my own international logistics consulting company in October 2023. Just two weeks later, I was in a car accident that resulted in multiple spine surgeries. Unfortunately, both initial repairs failed, and now my neck surgery has also failed, requiring yet another operation. In the midst of all this, I was diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully, after surgery to remove my thyroid, I am now in remission. However, the constant state of recovery has made it impossible for me to return to full-time work, and I am struggling to keep freelance projects coming in. I am actively looking into disability assistance, but after two years of trying to catch up, I am falling further behind. My house is about to go into foreclosure, I don’t have a car, and my bills are becoming more overdue. My top priority is catching up on my mortgage to avoid losing our home and provide stability for my kids. Your support will also help with basic needs like winter clothes for my children and transportation, and hopefully allow my kids to experience a joyful Christmas this year, which otherwise may not be possible. I am beyond grateful to anyone in our community or support network who has the ability to donate. I am hopeful to not only get back on my feet but start to thrive again. I want to regain my life for myself, my kids, and to give back to the community as I have in the past—by volunteering for my kids’ extracurriculars and making a positive impact through my company. Thank you for considering a donation and for being part of our journey to recovery.
