My name is Tracie, and I haven’t been able to work since June due to ongoing medical issues. My family has been incredibly supportive, helping me cover my expenses, but I know I can’t expect them to carry this burden forever. I’ve applied for disability, but as many know, that process can take a long time, and I’m still waiting for a decision.

In the meantime, I’m doing everything I can to get back on my feet, including actively looking for work. However, the bills keep coming—rent, utilities, gas, and food that I can’t get from the pantry. It’s been a tough journey, and I’m reaching out for help so I can keep a roof over my head and meet my basic needs while I work toward stability.

Anything you can give will make a difference and is deeply appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can offer during this difficult time.
