I'm starting this GoFundMe out of pure desperation. Recently, I was badly injured in an accident and suffered a broken clavicle, along with a lot of soft tissue and muscle damage. As a result, I will be missing several weeks of work and may need surgery in the near future. This has left me in a very difficult position, with no way to pay my rent and several other bills and expenses piling up. It's not easy for me to ask for help, and I'm really trying to get over the embarrassment of having to do this, but I'm praying that reaching out will make a difference.

The funds raised will go directly toward medical expenses, keeping a roof over my head, much-needed phone service, food, and recurring bills like insurance payments. Every bit of support will help me manage these essential needs while I focus on healing and getting back on my feet. I have some amazing friends in recovery and other groups that are very important to me, and I hope people can understand my situation and maybe even relate in some way. I truly believe in paying it forward, and once I'm through this, I plan to do just that—because that's what we're supposed to do. Any support or sharing of my fundraiser means the world to me, and I am deeply grateful for your kindness.
