Hi, my name is Natalia, and I’m reaching out with a heavy but hopeful heart.
I come from a low-income family that’s been going through a tough time. My mother, the heart of our home, is unable to work due to painful herniated discs in her back. Every day, I see her pushing through the pain just to take care of my little sister and hold our household together, even though she can barely move some days.
I’ve been trying to help as much as I can, but maintaining a job has been hard. I’ve been struggling silently with undiagnosed ADHD, which makes it difficult to stay focused, organized, and consistent in the workplace. I want to do better—I’m trying to—but it’s not easy when you’re fighting battles inside your mind while trying to hold your family up at the same time.
Our bills are piling up. Groceries are getting harder to afford. And my little sister deserves stability, warmth, and peace. I’m doing this not just for me—but for her, and for my mom who’s done everything she can with the little strength she has left.
If you can donate, share, or even just send a kind word, it would mean the world to us. Every single act of support helps us breathe a little easier and reminds us that we’re not alone.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story. With love, natalia.
