Life has been relentlessly tough for my friend lately. First, her washer broke down, and just as she managed to cope with that, her fridge gave out—right after she had spent $400 on groceries. Now, her car, the one she relies on every day to get to work, to provide for her family, has stopped running. To make matters worse, she still has $7,000 left to pay on it.
What makes all of this harder is that she works for a not-for-profit, dedicating herself to helping those with severe mental illness. She pours her heart into caring for others—providing support, hope, and healing. She’s the type of person who never hesitates to lift up those around her, but right now, she’s the one who needs a little lifting.
I want to help her in any way I can, and I’m asking for your support. Even the smallest contribution could make a world of difference for her. Life is throwing so much at her, but I know she’ll find a way to pay it forward, more than we could ever imagine. Anything you can give would mean the world.
