Hi, my name is Abigail B. I never imagined I’d be in a position where I’d have to ask for help like this.

I’ve always worked hard. I’ve taken pride in showing up, putting in the hours, and doing what I was supposed to do to survive. Even when things got tight, I kept going. I told myself that if I just worked a little harder, picked up another shift, or cut back a little more, I’d catch up.

But life doesn’t always wait for you to catch up.

Over time, the bills kept stacking up. Rent, utilities, insurance, groceries, gas. All the basic things you need just to live. No luxuries. No extras. Just the cost of getting through the month. I paid what I could, when I could, often choosing one bill over another and hoping it wouldn’t come back to hurt me later.

Eventually, it did.

The hardest moment was realizing I had to sell my car. That car wasn’t just transportation. It was how I got to work. It was independence. It was the one thing that made it possible to keep going when everything else felt unstable. Selling it felt like giving up a piece of my life, but I didn’t have a choice. I needed the money to keep the lights on and avoid falling even further behind.

Even after selling it, I’m still struggling. Working hard hasn’t been enough. I’m exhausted, stressed, and constantly worried about what bill is coming next or what I won’t be able to pay. Asking for help is not easy for me. It’s humbling and uncomfortable. But I’m at a point where I can’t do this alone anymore.

This GoFundMe isn’t about handouts. It’s about getting a chance to breathe. To catch up on essential bills. To stabilize my life enough so I can keep working and rebuilding instead of falling further behind. To help my family no longer worry if we’re gonna eat or if we’re gonna be homeless anytime soon.

If you’re able to help, even a little, it would mean more than I can put into words. And if you can’t, sharing this or keeping me in your thoughts still matters. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Thank you so much and God bless you ❤️
