Hi everyone,

My name is Veronica, and I never imagined I would be in a position where I needed to ask for help like this. I’ve always been someone who takes pride in being independent, showing up for others, and giving back wherever I can — especially through my work in healthcare, where caring for people has always been at the core of who I am.

Over the past several months, my life has taken an unexpected and incredibly difficult turn. I recently lost my father to cancer, watching him slowly fade over the last year, which has been one of the most painful experiences of my life. At the same time, I found myself in a deeply unhealthy and psychologically abusive living situation that I am now urgently working to leave for my safety and well-being.

As a result of everything happening at once, I was unemployed for the past four months and am now just beginning to get back on my feet. While I’ve recently started working again for a wonderful company, I am still in a fragile place financially and trying to rebuild stability.

This experience has taken a significant toll on both my mental and physical health. I have struggled with anxiety, depression, emotional exhaustion, and the stress has impacted my body in ways I never experienced before. I am actively working toward healing, but it has been an incredibly difficult process.

Although my mom has tried to support me as best she can, I do not have additional family support to rely on during this time. I am doing my best to navigate this situation while also trying to rebuild my independence.

Right now, I am in immediate need of support to cover moving and storage expenses so I can safely transition out of this situation and begin rebuilding my life in a healthier environment.

It’s hard to accept that sometimes life can change so quickly, and that even when you are a good person trying your best, difficult things can still happen. I am doing everything in my power to move forward, rebuild, and create a safe and stable environment for myself again.

If you are able to donate, share, or support in any way, it would truly mean more than I can express. And if not, your kindness, encouragement, and even just reading this means a lot to me.

Thank you for taking the time to hear my story and for being part of helping me get through this chapter.

With gratitude,

Veronica
