Hello, my name is Tina.

As I’m filling this out, my eyes fill with tears and I feel intense emotions. I had goals set for 2025. I never imagined my recap would be this In less than a year, survived a near-fatal accident, lost my health, my car, my savings, my future career and my best friend.

One day after moving into a new apartment I was laid off from my job after 3 years, awards, certificates received, out of know where. I had saved, built a 780 credit score. I furnished my home on credit, believing I was finally building a future. Then it all fell apart.

Denied unemployment and denied help from the state for months, my savings vanished. I even broke a CD to cover bills, losing some of the savings and opened it with. I sold everything valuable I owned for little to nothing and borrowed from family and friends. My credit fell to 450. Eviction notices followed.

After months of searching ,I finally got a new job. My first day at work driving, I was in a near-fatal accident with an 18-wheeler. My car was torn in half, my dominant arm was paralyzed, and I blacked out from the impact. I survived—but my life was forever changed. Herniated discs, chronic pain, and nerve damage now make even basic tasks exhausting. Intensive therapy and ongoing medical care ,only because of what I truly believe were guardian angels watching over me I’m still here today.

The roof crumpled over me turning car into a convertible and a sharp triangular metal less than an inch away from my head. windows front, back and sides shattered causing glass imbedded all over me including my face and head.

I lowered my insurance to liability just a month prior and received nothing for my 2‑year‑old car I had paid $17,000 for. Without a car, getting to medical appointments and managing daily life is extremely difficult. My RN degree is now on hold.

Then I lost my best friend. Dolce passed due to veterinary negligence. After his death, I adopted Chloe, a rescued bunny, promising her a forever home. If I lose my apartment, I will lose her too.

I’m asking for help to keep my apartment, save toward a reliable car, and survive until I’m physically able to work again.I’ve never asked for help like this—but I have no other options.

Any donation or share could mean the difference between losing everything and having a chance to rebuild. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
