I fought for my life after being shot 10 times and I’m still fighting every single day. What people don’t always see is that surviving something like that is only the beginning. The physical pain, the emotional trauma, learning how to move forward… it doesn’t just go away. There are days I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and there are days where it still feels overwhelming.

During that time, a GoFundMe was created for me by someone I trusted. It was meant to help me through one of the hardest moments of my life but I never received the full support that was raised in my name. That’s something I’ve had to carry on top of everything else.

Now I’m trying to rebuild my life the best I can. I’m doing my part, pushing forward, and staying strong but the reality is, I’ve fallen behind on bills and I’m struggling to catch up. It’s not easy for me to ask for help, but right now, I truly need it.

I’m grateful to be here. I’m grateful for another chance at life. And I’m grateful for anyone who takes the time to read this, share it, or support me in any way. No amount is too small, and even just spreading the word means more than you know.

Thank you for helping me keep going
