Hi everyone,
My name is Kayleigh, and I'm here to share my story in the hopes of finding a lifeline during this incredibly tough time. Life has thrown more at me than I ever imagined, and I'm reaching out because I need your help to find my footing again.
My Story:
Just a few years ago, I was living my dream. I had a job I was passionate about and a place I could call home. But life took a sudden and cruel turn. I lost my dream job, and with it, my housing. The stress and despair of losing everything I had worked so hard for became overwhelming, and I found myself spiraling into the dark world of addiction.
In my darkest moments, I woke up in the ICU after suffering two massive seizures. I was rushed to the hospital, and it was a terrifying wake-up call. My body and spirit were broken, but even after that harrowing experience, I fell back into the clutches of substance abuse.
However, amidst the chaos and despair, a spark of determination ignited within me. I realized that I couldn't continue down this path of self-destruction. I needed to reclaim my life, not just for myself but for everyone who believes in me. I made the courageous decision to check myself into detox and rehab, and I am committed to the long and difficult journey of recovery.
Why I Need Your Help:
Rebuilding a life after such profound loss and struggle is not something I can do alone. I am seeking your support to help cover the costs of my treatment, ongoing therapy, and basic living expenses as I work to get back on my feet.
Your generosity will go towards:
Medical Bills: Covering the significant medical expenses from two individual week-long stays at the hospital, including my time in the ICU after the seizures. These bills amount to approximately $20,000.
Treatment and Therapy: Ensuring I can continue with detox, rehab, and ongoing therapy sessions, which will cost around $10,000.
Daily Expenses: Providing for essential needs like gas ($300/month), car insurance ($250/month), and my cell phone bill ($120/month). These everyday expenses are crucial as I navigate this difficult time and work towards finding stability.
Living Expenses: Helping with rent and utilities to ensure I have a safe and secure place to call home as I rebuild my life. This totals approximately $1,500/month.
Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to a life of health, stability, and purpose. Your kindness and empathy will make an enormous difference in my journey towards healing and renewal.
Conclusion:
From the depths of my heart, I thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your support means the world to me, and I am profoundly grateful for any help you can offer. Together, we can turn this page of pain into a new chapter of hope and recovery.
With heartfelt thanks and hope,
Kayleigh Rose

Update: 23rd July
I wanted to take a moment to provide an update on my journey and to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible support I’ve received so far.
As of today, I am proud to share that I have been completely sober since July 3rd. This milestone is incredibly meaningful to me and represents the beginning of a new chapter in my life. To support my ongoing recovery, I have voluntarily enrolled in a partial hospitalization program. This program is providing me with the structured support and intensive therapy I need to stay on the path to healing.
The journey has been challenging, but your generosity and kindness have given me the strength and hope to keep moving forward. Every donation, message of support, and kind word has made a significant difference in my life. I am profoundly grateful to each and every one of you who has donated and to those who continue to support me in this critical time.
Thank you for believing in me and for helping me rebuild my life. Your support means the world to me, and I am committed to making the most of this opportunity to create a better future.
With heartfelt thanks and hope,
