In September, my life changed when I was injured at work. Just a few months later, in December, I received the devastating diagnosis of multiple myeloma. Since then, I have been on short term disability, but the combination of cancer, frequent doctor visits, medications, and not receiving my full pay has made it impossible to keep up with my bills. I still have several months of chemotherapy ahead and am unable to return to work for the foreseeable future.

The financial strain has been overwhelming. Every day is a challenge as I try to focus on my health and recovery while worrying about how to cover basic living expenses and mounting medical bills. The support of friends, family, and kind-hearted people means the world to me right now.

I would like to thank everyone in advance for your donations, thoughts, and prayers. Facing cancer is incredibly tough, and the added stress of financial hardship makes it even more difficult. Any help you can offer—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing my story—will make a real difference for me during this difficult time. Thank you for standing by me.
