Hello my name is Cera i want to share my past year with you I'm being vulnerable here so please be respectful!

I am usually not the one to ask for help, but this past year has been really hard. July last yr I was run off the road in the hurricane hit a bridge then was hit by a train I broke my back in half but I worked hard to get back walking went back to work in October till March 7th I had a bad fall at work, dislocating my wrist and shoulder and suffering nerve damage in my left arm as well. I have been out of work on unpaid leave while recovering because I don't have health insurance and no form of income.

I did get a lawyer and applied for workman's comp, but I was informed today that it has been denied, and I have no idea why when I had proof and pictures of the injury and doctor notes. My arm is still in a brace and sling. I'm still not able to use my left arm or hand at all, which is why I haven't been able to work. I have been applying for financial help but have been getting denied.

So, I'm making this GoFundMe as a way for help to pay my rent and electric and get some food for me and my dogs i rescued a pregnant dog and she had 8 puppies and I go through about a 40 lb bag a week and im almost out of dog food for good and unfortunately now my job terminated me while on medical leave and so I have no form of income while worker comp is in litigation and I'm on a waitlist for unemployment my hearing date for that is for the end of August and I'm worried I won't make it while stranded at home with no car and no income and no support or friends i used to work 3 jobs never had time for anything but my dogs and work so I'm trying to do what i can but I have been really struggling to make ends meet.

So, I'm reaching out, and I have never been this down this long in my life where I feel like I'm constantly failing no matter what I do. It's hard for me to even ask for help. I'm usually the one putting everyone and everything before me, and now I'm the one needing help. I do feel embarrassed, but this is me trying to not lose hope and give up. the end of last yr I was seeing someone the unalived a 18yr kid in front of me then S/A me and then after getting chased with a gun in the woods I managed to survive but had a mental breakdown and attempted a unalive on myself but ended up in the psych ward cause I lost hope ik the struggle won't last forever I'm fighting to still be here and i don't want my dogs who are my only family to see me give up and then i lose them even though I'm trying the best to survive right now I would appreciate any help in this difficult time to help get me back on my feet. Thank you and godspeed. -Cera
