My name is Christina, and in 2018 I was diagnosed with both epilepsy and multiple sclerosis (MS). Since then, my life has changed in ways I never could have imagined. The MS has progressed to the point where it consumes me both mentally and physically. Fatigue has taken over my days, making it incredibly hard to get out of bed or do the things I once loved. Even being around people can be overwhelming. For those who know me, you know I’ve always been fiercely independent, but these last three years have been the hardest of my life. I’ve lost so much, including my ability to work, and it’s been a struggle just to keep going each day.

It takes everything in me to reach out and ask for help, but I have no other choice right now. Any support I receive will go directly toward my daily living expenses and help me pay my rent. Your kindness and generosity would mean the world to me as I try to navigate this incredibly difficult time. If you’re able to donate, no matter the amount, please know how deeply grateful I am. And if you can, please share my story with others who might be able to help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can offer.
