In 2013, I began to feel an overwhelming fatigue that slowly started to impact my daily life. Things became even more challenging in 2016, when I suffered a concussion after a fall. Despite these setbacks, I tried to keep moving forward, but my health continued to decline. In 2023, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, and by November 2025, I received another difficult diagnosis: Interstitial Lung Disease caused by Rheumatoid Arthritis. Now, I rely on supplemental oxygen and face a combination of health issues that make it nearly impossible to work a regular job. The concussion, chronic fatigue, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Interstitial Lung Disease have all made living each day a real challenge, both physically and emotionally.

Throughout my life, I have always tried to make the world a better place and help others reach their full potential. Asking for help is not easy for me, but I am reaching out now because I need support. The funds raised will go toward covering future medical expenses, daily living costs, and items that will help me make the most of the life I have left. Every bit of support, whether financial or through sharing my story, means the world to me.

If you know me, you know how much I value helping others. If you are able to help with money or items, I am deeply grateful. If you can't, I hope you will share my story and continue to live each day to the fullest. Thank you for being part of my journey and for any support you can offer.
