Hi, my name is Gabrielle (Gabi), and I never thought I would be in a position to ask for help like this.

I am 68 years old and currently facing a very difficult situation after leaving a long-term marriage. Since separating, I have received very very limited financial support that has not been enoug h to cover my basic living expenses.” I am trying to rebuild my life on my own.

I also trusted the wrong attorney during this process and lost nearly all of the money I had. As a result, I now have no savings and very limited resources.

I am dealing with health issues that have made it difficult for me to work. I recently tried to return to work but was not physically able to sustain it. I am doing everything I can to recover and get back on my feet.

Right now, I am asking for help to cover basic living expenses such as rent, food, and utilities while I stabilize my health and rebuild my income.

This is not where I expected to be at this stage in my life, but I am determined to move forward and regain my independence.

Any support, no matter how small, would mean more than I can express.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
