On December 29th, I began experiencing serious medical issues that required three ER visits and multiple follow-up appointments. What initially appeared to be chest pain and high blood pressure was later diagnosed from acid reflux, esophageal spasms, to anxiety/panic attacks. Ongoing medication changes and side effects significantly limited my ability to work during this time.

As an Uber driver, being unable to work meant my income stopped almost entirely. My emergency savings were quickly exhausted, and essential bills fell behind, resulting in overdraft fees and mounting expenses. I am now able to do limited local driving, but I’m still unable to work at full capacity while my condition stabilizes.

Funds raised will be used to cover urgent January expenses, including property taxes, my auto loan, and bank overdraft fees. Any help is sincerely appreciated and will go directly toward preventing further financial hardship.
