A survivor of human trafficking, I have been struggling for the past two years to reclaim, recover, and rebuild life. I recently lost my job, which left me homeless at this particular stage of life. I've been lucky to have friends and family helping me as they are able.

On an immediate level, I need some help with extending my hotel room through to this upcoming Sunday in late January 2026.

However, long-term goals involve getting back into the workforce, getting my own place, and paying everything forward.
