Lend Samantha a hand as she works her way to solid ground

For several years, Samantha has been struggling through life with severe back pain. Even though she consulted with numerous physicians, no one has properly diagnose the reason for the pain. Last week. Samantha was admitted to the hospital immediately after seeing a neurologist who did an MRI and found a tumor on her spine the size of a ping-pong ball which was compressing her nerves. She had emergency surgery the next day, and the tumor was removed. Testing is still being done to give Samantha a proper diagnosis.

Samantha is going to be laid up for eight weeks at the very least. Being able to work only a few hours a day, Samantha has gotten behind on her bills, and will need to pay rent and utilities for the next couple of months with no income. She lives alone and has no help.

We know there are many important causes out there, and while this one might not seem urgent to everyone, it means everything to Samantha. She’s facing a tough few months ahead—recovering, job hunting, and trying to make ends meet after only being able to work part-time for some time.

Right now, she needs help covering basic essentials like rent, food, and overdue bills. Any amount you can give will go directly toward helping her get back on her feet and into a more stable place.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support—it truly makes a difference.
