I never thought I’d be writing something like this.

I’ve always worked. I’ve always figured it out. I’ve never been the type to ask for help.

But this past year has broken me in ways I never imagined.

It started when I was a passenger in a Lyft accident. I walked away thinking I was “okay” — but scans showed partial tears in my ACL, MCL, LCL, and patellar tendon. My knee swelled severely. I struggled to walk, to stand at work, to just move normally. I began physical therapy and pushed myself to keep working because I had no other option.

Without a car, I relied on rides just to survive and get to work.

A few months later, while trying to save money by using a scooter instead of rideshares, I crashed on the Dunlawton Bridge. That accident set my recovery back even further. The medical bills kept stacking. I kept working anyway.

I was already physically exhausted and mentally drained when the third accident happened.

On my way to work near International Speedway, I hit loose gravel during a turn. The scooter slid out from under me. I went face-first into the pavement.

The entire right side of my face was torn open. My lower eyelid was ripped and had to be surgically reconstructed. Halifax emergency staff called in a plastic surgeon from Orlando because the repair required specialized precision. I was dangerously close to losing vision in my right eye.

I remember lying there not knowing if I would see properly again.

I don’t have health insurance.

Between emergency trauma care, surgical reconstruction, imaging scans, medications, follow-ups, and ongoing knee rehabilitation from my previous injuries, the medical costs are overwhelming and still coming in.

Physically, I’m healing slowly.

Emotionally, this year has taken everything out of me.

Financially, I’m at rock bottom.

I am incredibly grateful to be alive. I am grateful I can still see. But I cannot do this alone anymore.

If you’re able to donate, it would mean more than I can explain.

If you can’t, sharing this page helps more than you know.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring.

I’m fighting to heal and rebuild my life. My leg was already a long journey to begin with and now my vision is at risk if I don’t do follow up appointments that are expensive. It’s hard to stand without a cane and my post op leg brace on one leg with another on my left leg and a half working right hand. I can’t open even water bottles without assistance, I can’t shower without assistance and all of this I’ve realized it’s too great without assistance, thank you to anyone who share or considered sharing I love you guys regardless of any money or help, I truly love everyone around me and I love helping people more than myself and fill others cups before my own, and now that I can’t do that I’m just lost. Thank everyone for even caring to reshare
