Hi, my name is Shay, and I’m a disabled veteran asking for help during a really tough moment.

The past few months have stacked up in ways I couldn’t fully recover from in time. Between ongoing health issues related to my disability, falling behind on bills, and our online business slowing significantly due to recent TikTok changes, we’ve been struggling to catch up financially.

On top of that, we were hit with a bad snowstorm recently that left me unable to drive for several days, which impacted income and added more stress during an already difficult stretch.

Because of all of this, our apartment has started the eviction process. We do have next month’s rent covered—this fundraiser is solely to help us catch up on this past month so we can stop the eviction and stabilize again.

This isn’t an easy ask, but we’re doing everything we can to stay afloat and keep moving forward. Any support—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this—would mean more than I can put into words. It gives us breathing room, stability, and a chance to reset after a rough season.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any kindness you’re able to offer.
