My name is Elton, and I never imagined I’d find myself in this position. Recently, I suffered two broken bones in my left foot and a fractured fibula. Because of these injuries, I’m unable to work for Uber Eats—the job I rely on to pay my bills and support myself—until at least February. It’s been a challenging time, both physically and emotionally, as I try to heal and figure out how to make ends meet without my usual income.

With no way to work, I’m struggling to keep up with bills. Every day feels uncertain, and I worry about falling behind on the basics that keep me going. I’ve always tried to handle things on my own, so it’s very hard and honestly embarrassing to reach out for help. But right now, I don’t have many options, and I know that sometimes we all need a little support to get through tough times.

If you’re able to help, even in a small way, it would mean the world to me. Your kindness and generosity will help me stay afloat while I recover and get back on my feet—literally. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can offer.
