Family, friends, and loved ones—I'm reaching out for help during a difficult time in my life. After years of building a career in higher education as an admissions and academic advisor, my life changed dramatically due to a seizure disorder and a ruptured disc. Despite earning a graduate degree and dedicating myself to my profession, my health challenges have made it impossible for me to continue working. This has been a heartbreaking transition, as I truly loved helping students and being part of their academic journeys.

Now, I am facing financial hardship and struggling to pay my rent and bills. I have applied for social security disability insurance, but the approval process takes time, and I need support to get through this period. My rent and bills are due by February 28th, so I urgently need help as soon as possible. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will help me cover essential living expenses and provide some stability while I wait for assistance.

Your support means the world to me. Whether you can donate or simply share my story, I am deeply grateful for your kindness and caring. Thank you for reading, and for being part of a community that lifts each other up in times of need.
