(Update below)

Hi Everyone,

I never really imagined myself writing something like this, but life has a way of humbling you when you least expect it.

This past year has been the toughest of my life. I was juggling work, daily responsibilities, family, and my own mental health. Then a car accident brought everything crashing down on me. I lost my car, a couple of friendships, and honestly, my sense of stability. I ended up in the hospital because I finally hit a point where I needed real help.

That experience, while painful, also saved me in many ways. It forced me to slow down, to face what I had been putting on the back burner of my life in order to rebuild from the ground up. The downside? Recovery isn't cheap. I've been trying to handle my hospital bills amongst all of my other responsibilities, but the truth is: I simply cannot do this alone.

I'm not here to tell a sob story, far from it. I'm here because I'm trying to do better, to get back on my feet, and to move forward. Every bit of help, no matter how much, goes directly toward paying off these medical expenses so I can focus on healing and rebuilding my life.

If you've ever been through a rough patch and someone lent you a hand, you would understand just how much it truly means. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, for caring, and for supporting me in any way you can, whether that's through a donation or by sharing this.

Thank you all again,

Eli
