I never thought I would find myself here—asking for help—but after two years of trying to rebuild my life, I’ve run out of options.

I’m a military spouse living in a remote rural area, where opportunities are already limited. A few years ago, I became disabled due to a chronic health condition that makes it difficult to work traditional, in-person jobs. Around the same time, I lost my previous employment, and since then, I’ve been trying to find something I can do—something remote, stable, and sustainable.

For the past two years, I’ve applied to countless remote positions. I’ve taken online courses to build new skills, spent hours each day searching for legitimate work-from-home opportunities, and pushed myself through physical limitations just to keep trying. Despite all of this, I haven’t been able to secure steady employment.

Living in a rural area makes everything harder. There are very few local resources, limited internet reliability, and almost no in-person job options that accommodate my disability. My spouse serves our country, and while I’m incredibly proud, the reality is that frequent moves and isolation have made it even harder for me to build a stable career of my own.

Financially, we are struggling. I’ve exhausted my savings trying to cover basic needs like groceries, utilities, and medical expenses that aren’t fully covered. Every month feels like a balancing act we’re slowly losing. There are days when I have to choose which bill can wait and which can’t.

The emotional toll has been just as heavy. It’s incredibly hard to want to contribute, to work, to build something for yourself—and to keep hitting walls over and over again. I don’t want to give up. I can’t give up. I just need a little help to get through this period and find a path forward.

I’m raising funds to help cover essential living expenses and to invest in tools that could make remote work possible—such as reliable internet, updated equipment, and continued training. My goal isn’t just to get by—it’s to become self-sufficient again.

If you’re able to contribute, even a small amount would make a meaningful difference in helping me stay afloat while I continue searching for remote work that fits my situation. And if you’re not able to donate, sharing this would mean so much.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and for any support you can offer. It truly means more than I can put into words.
