A Little Help While I Find My Footing Again

After losing Bobby, my life changed in ways I’m still trying to understand. Along with the grief, I’ve been facing financial strain that I wasn’t prepared for, including everyday expenses while trying to simply function and heal.

I’m doing my best to take things one day at a time, but right now I need help staying afloat. This fundraiser is to help cover basic living expenses, bills, and give me a small amount of breathing room while I grieve and begin to rebuild my life.

I’m going through a period of real transition after a significant loss, and I’m asking for help with some very practical, immediate needs while I get stable again.

Right now, my monthly living expenses are about $400, covering basics like food, utilities, and daily necessities. On top of that, I need about $600 to get my truck fully drivable, including registration, insurance, and essential costs. Having reliable transportation is critical for managing day-to-day life and moving forward.

The funds raised will be used for:

• Basic living expenses

• Vehicle registration and insurance

• Keeping my truck on the road so I can handle daily responsibilities

I’m not asking for luxury or extras. I’m asking for help staying afloat during a difficult stretch and giving myself the stability to keep going.

If you’re able to donate, thank you sincerely. If donating isn’t possible, sharing this helps more than you might realize. Every bit of support, in any form, genuinely matters.

With gratitude,

Melanie
