I never imagined I would be in a place where I needed to ask for help like this, but here I am—leaning on faith, humility, and the kindness of others during one of the hardest seasons of my life.

Recently, I went through a major medical journey, including a kidney transplant. While I am incredibly grateful for the gift of life and the second chance I've been given, the road to recovery has not been easy. Between ongoing medical care, medications, and frequent travel for appointments, the financial weight has become overwhelming.

Because of my health, I've been unable to work consistently, which has led to lost wages on top of everything else. I am currently trying to keep up with basic living expenses like rent, while also managing the costs that come with healing and recovery.

This has been a humbling experience. I've always tried to be someone who handles things on my own, but I'm learning that sometimes God places us in positions where we have to receive support, not just give it. I truly believe He is walking with me through this, even in the uncertainty.

If you feel led to give, any amount—no matter how small—would go directly toward:

• Medical expenses and medications

• Rent and essential living costs

• Travel for ongoing treatment and follow-up care

• Replacing lost income during recovery

If you're not in a place to donate, I completely understand. Sharing this fundraiser or keeping me in your prayers means just as much to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, for your support, and for standing with me during this time. I am holding onto faith, healing, and hope for what's ahead.
