Hey everyone, it’s Susan.

This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share, but I know it’s time to open up about what I’ve been going through. I’ve been living with diabetes for 15 years, and the journey has been far from easy.

In the beginning, I thought I could manage it — I stayed strong, took my medications, followed the plan, and kept faith that I could handle whatever came my way. But over time, the complications from diabetes have changed my life completely.

Because of those complications, I’ve had to start dialysis and I’m now on the kidney donor list, hoping and praying for a match. Recently, I also had to face something I never imagined — both of my feet were amputated. I’m currently healing, physically and emotionally, and trying to adapt to this new reality.

Every day is a challenge, but I’m still here — still fighting, still believing that better days are ahead. This experience has tested my strength in ways I didn’t know were possible, but I refuse to let it take away my hope or my faith.

I’m reaching out because the financial strain from ongoing treatments, medical bills, and recovery has become overwhelming. I’m asking for help so I can focus on healing — not just surviving, but finding a way to truly live again.

If you’re able to help in any way — whether it’s through a donation, sharing my story, or sending love and encouragement — it would mean more than words can express. Every bit of support helps me take one step closer to recovery and independence.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for being part of my journey.
