Natasha's Road to Regain her life back: Your Support Matters

Friends & Family,

As many of you know, 2024 was one of the most challenging years of my life—mentally, physically, and health-wise. I faced multiple hospital stays, underwent four surgeries, and lost the ability to use the right side of my body. On top of all that, life threw another unexpected curveball my way that is financially draining my ability to continue. What started as a tough year ended with me in a wheelchair for almost three months.

Through it all, my family has supported me as much as they could (for which I am beyond grateful), but going from being a full-time provider to not being able to work has been incredibly difficult.

Now, in March 2025, I’m finally on the journey to regain my independence. I’ve started relearning how to walk and can even wear my own shoes again—a small but huge victory for me. The road ahead is far from easy, but I am determined.

With that said, I’m humbly asking for support from those who are able to help. Any donations or shares will make a difference as I work to rebuild my life. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate every single contribution and act of kindness.

Thank you all for standing by me—I love and appreciate you more than words can.

PS: I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about what's going on with my health, so I wanted to give a quick update. In June 2023, I contracted a flesh-eating bacteria in my right leg and didn’t realize it until about a week later. That sent me to the ER and landed me in the hospital for 10 days with cellulitis and blood clots in my leg. Thankfully, my wife acted quickly and took matters into her own hands before I got to the hospital, literally saving my leg from amputation.

Since then, my life has been a rollercoaster. I didn’t know there were underlying health conditions leading me to where I am now. I’ve had stay after stay in the hospital, going through countless tests and seeing many doctors without clear answers. After thousands (no lie) of blood tests, I was finally diagnosed, and that’s when the real battle began. From organs being removed to tumors being found, and even a transplant on my leg, my journey has been intense.

I was diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome (second level), systemic lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis. My journey is far from over, but I’m trying to take control back in my life. As many of you know, I was thrown another curveball, but justice is taking its course. Thank G-D!!!
