Hello, my name is Mari. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I am completely blind and live independently with my beautiful guide dog. Usually, I manage to provide for us. I am not usually one who asks for help like this, but at this point, I have no other choice.

I am being drowned by my medical expenses and bills, and I recently had to have my refrigerator replaced, which means I have to buy all new groceries. It is also crucial that I pay off my utility bill in its entirety this month or the city will shut off my utilities. Here is a breakdown of how funds will be used:

Groceries: $300

Utility bill: $278

Dog food: $82

Household necessities: $150

Therapy: $190

Psychiatry visit: $75

Medications: $164

Bank fees: $400

Uber trips for work: $200

I understand times are difficult for everyone right now, so I don’t expect everyone who sees this to be able to help. I appreciate anything y'all can do to help, a donation of any amount, or just a share. Thank you again for your time and loving consideration.
