Lend a Hand to Rachelle's Healing Process

Hi, my name is Rachelle Baldwin. I’m 28 years old and live in Centerville, TN.

For the past four years, I’ve battled frequent illness—mostly strep throat—that left me feeling drained, frustrated, and constantly in and out of doctor’s offices. After years of trying everything else, my doctors told me the only real solution was to have my tonsils removed. I was scared, but I went through with the surgery, hoping it would bring relief and a fresh start.

Instead, I faced unexpected complications, including a blood clot that kept me out of work much longer than planned. What was supposed to be a step toward healing quickly became a source of overwhelming stress.

Now, I’m falling behind on everything—rent, medical bills, utilities, groceries, even basic household items. I’ve applied for state programs, reached out to local churches, and explored every option I could think of. But the truth is, I’m drowning. I’ve never been in a situation this serious before, and it’s terrifying not knowing how I’ll make it through the month.

As hard as it is to ask for help, I’m doing so now—humbly and with a hopeful heart. If you’re able to support me in any way, please know how deeply grateful I would be. Your kindness could help me keep a roof over my head and take care of the essentials while I work to get back on my feet.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
