<div>Earlier last month, my life lost all stability in the span of days.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>While crossing the street, I was struck by a car in a hit-and-run. I woke up in the hospital, badly injured, facing emergency surgeries and overwhelming medical bills.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Just a week later, while still in recovery, I was laid off from my job—losing my only source of income and my health insurance. I still have more surgeries ahead, but now no way to pay for them.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Then, heartbreak struck again: my partner of many years left following my job loss. She is now demanding $158,000—her share of our home equity—by December. Her attorney has said that if I can’t pay, the apartment will be sold out from under me.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I have nowhere else to go. My dog and I have been turned away from every rental I’ve applied for without current income. I’ve already sold everything I can live without, but I’m still far from being able to pay her off.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I am terrified of losing my home and ending up homeless while still recovering from my injuries.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you are able, please help me keep a roof over my head during the hardest chapter of my life. Every donation—no matter the size—brings me closer to stability and safety. And if you can’t give, please consider sharing this page with others who might be able to help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

</div>
