My name is Elijah, and I am reaching out during one of the most difficult times in my life. I have been living with HIV, but recently I became resistant to my antiviral medication. My viral load is increasing and my CD4 count is dropping, which means I am progressing towards AIDS. This has made it even harder to manage my health, and the stress of my situation is overwhelming.

On top of my health challenges, I am struggling to pay my rent and support my dog, who is my constant companion and source of comfort. The costs of medicine, dog food, and basic living expenses are adding up quickly, and I am worried about keeping a safe place to live for both of us. I am doing everything I can, but right now, I need some extra help to get through this tough period.

Anything helps, and I appreciate everything that has been shared with me. Your support will go directly towards my rent, my dog's food, and the medicine I need to keep fighting. Thank you for reading my story and for any help you can offer.
