Chrys is my niece, and she has been living with chronic burning pain throughout her entire body for as long as I have known her. For the past decade, she has bravely navigated the medical system, searching for answers and solutions to her condition. Despite the constant challenges, Chrys has reached a turning point—she is finally in a place where she can pursue a career that fits her physical needs and aspirations. What Chrys needs most right now is stability in her home. The place she currently lives is not just a roof over her head; it is wheelchair accessible and allows her to be part of the community, socialize, and maintain her health without causing debilitating flare ups. This environment is essential for her well-being and gives her the foundation she needs to focus on building a sustainable future.

Chrys is determined to transition from relying on government services to securing a job and salary that will cover her care and living expenses. She has shown incredible discipline and resilience, maintaining a steady routine even when her symptoms are overwhelming. We are raising funds to cover Chrys's rent for the next year, giving her the security and rest she needs to learn her craft, network in her industry, and become proficient at interviewing. I have no doubt that she can achieve great things, but she cannot do it alone. Any support you can give means the world to us! Your generosity will make a world of difference in her journey.
