My family and I are facing an urgent and overwhelming situation. Until recently, my mom was helping us pay our bills, but she has just been diagnosed with breast cancer and is no longer able to provide support. On top of that, I have been unable to secure a job due to my own health challenges—specifically, disabilities caused by necrotizing fasciitis. This has left us in a very vulnerable position, struggling to cover even the most basic necessities.

The funds I am hoping to raise will go directly toward our PG&E power bill and fresh, healthy groceries.

The groceries are needed immediately, today, and the PG&E Power bill is set to be turned off TODAY Tuesday February 17th, 2026.

Every donation will help us keep the lights on, stay connected, care for our pets, and maintain our health during this difficult time. Your support will make a real difference in our daily lives and help us get through this period of uncertainty.

I am deeply ashamed and embarrassed to have to ask for help again, but I have no other options right now. Most of my family is gone or unable to help, and I am truly at a loss. If you are able to donate, please know that I am open to repaying or skill sharing in return for your kindness. Your generosity would mean the world to me and my family, especially as we face my mom’s cancer diagnosis. Thank you for considering helping us feel less alone and helping us get closer to fine.
