If you know me, you know I’m not someone who asks for help easily. I’ve always worked hard, especially being self-employed, and taken pride in standing on my own two feet. But right now, I’m facing something bigger than I and my family can manage alone.

I am scheduled to undergo triple bypass surgery on March 4—a major, life-saving procedure that will require not only hospitalization, but a long and careful recovery. While I’m grateful to have access to the medical care I need, the reality is that being self-employed means that if I’m not working, there is no income coming in. There’s no paid leave, no safety net—just mounting medical bills and everyday living expenses that won’t pause while I heal.

This surgery is necessary, and I’m committed to doing everything I can to recover fully and come back stronger. But during this time, I’ll need support to cover medical costs, recovery expenses, and basic living needs while I’m unable to work and help support my family.

If you’re able to donate, share, or simply keep me in your thoughts, it would mean more than I can say. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps ease the financial stress and allows me to focus on what truly matters right now—healing.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and encouragement during this challenging chapter of my life.
