I am facing bladder cancer, and the journey has been harder than I ever imagined. Because of my diagnosis, I’ve had to miss a lot of work, which has made my paychecks much lower and stretched my finances thin. I’m doing everything I can to keep up with treatments, but the costs and the stress are overwhelming.

The funds raised here will help cover travel expenses to and from my appointments, which are over an hour each way. They’ll also help compensate for the time I’ve missed from work, since I don’t have enough paid time off to cover all the days I need for treatment and recovery. Your support will help me focus on healing without worrying so much about making ends meet.

I never thought I’d find myself in this situation, and I’m honestly embarrassed to ask for help. Any support you can offer—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing my story—is truly appreciated. Thank you for being here and for caring.
