Hi, my name is Skyee, and I never imagined I would be in a position to ask for help like this. But after everything I’ve been through this past year, I’ve reached a point where I truly cannot do this alone anymore.

On May 11, 2025, I was injured in a work accident while taking trash out at the end of my shift. I fell into a hidden ditch directly outside my workplace that I couldn’t see in the dark, the impact from falling into the ditch and hitting the underground piping caused severe injuries to my left leg (ACL, MCL, and meniscus tears), a severe ankle injury that still prevents me from being able to wear anything but a slipper along with ongoing spine and nerve issues that affect my right arm and shoulder along with my mobility and daily life.

Since that night, my entire life that I have been working so hard for so long has unraveled.

I was unable to work after May 11,2025 and initially received workers compensation, but my benefits were suddenly cut off after I was sent to an IME appointment and there doctor said I was fine to go back to work while I was still seriously injured, unable to walk, confined to a wheelchair, and had just got a surgery date 3 days prior. I have been in a long legal process ever since, with no income and no clear timeline for resolution.

Due to delays in proper medical care and complications, my condition worsened significantly. I developed severe muscle loss in my leg, had ZERO range of motion and my left leg was physically stuck at a 15 degree angle for 6 MONTHS before anyone surgically intervened, I have experienced multiple falls and do still to this day due to the severe instability in my knee causing it to just give out on me frequently (including one fall that resulted in a head injury and concussion), and went through months of intense physical therapy while living in constant pain. Even now, I continue to struggle with mobility and ongoing medical issues that have not been fully treated.

While trying to fight through all of this physically, my personal life also fell apart. I lost my relationship, my home, and eventually even my car with all of my belongings inside. I was left with nothing and nowhere to go and not even a cellphone for medical emergencies. My mental health has declined RAPIDLY since November and I’m currently suffering with severe depression, anxiety, and the feelings of such hopelessness. I am currently under the care of a psychiatrist and in therapy twice a week due to the significant toll my injury and everything that came along with it has taken on me. 

Right now, I am doing everything I can just to survive. I am living in extremely difficult conditions without stable housing, consistent food, reliable transportation, or basic necessities. At the same time, I am still dealing with daily pain and trying to push myself to regain enough stability to work again so I can start trying to pick up the pieces of my life despite my limitations for the sake of my physical and mental wellbeing.

I have spent months exhausting every possible resource and trying to rebuild on my own, but I have reached a point where I truly need help to get out of this situation.

The funds raised will go toward:

• Temporary housing (safe place to stay)
• Food and basic necessities
• Hygiene and medical needs
• Transportation (to purchase a cheap a to b vehicle just so I can be able to get around town and god willing HOPEFULLY atleast a part time job so I can get out of this situation)

My goal is not to rely on others long-term. I pride myself on how hard I have worked the last 15 years to provide a better life for myself and wanted to keep doing so. I am determined to work and rebuild my life by any means necessary but I am so overwhelmed and just stuck in a loop of just being stuck due to losing EVERYTHING at one time. You need a job to get money, you need transportation for a job, you need money to get the transportation. Between the physical and mental pain I am in everyday I just can’t seem to figure out how to put the pieces back together this time alone because no matter what I just cannot catch a break, for the last year.  I just need a chance to stabilize and get back on my feet after everything that has happened.

If you are able to donate, share, or even just take the time to read this, I am incredibly grateful. Any support means more than I can put into words. The only thing I have not lost this past year is my faith in god and I pray I keep holding on to that no matter what.

After going through something so life changing and traumatic for last year at only 28 years old I just want to say thank you for even taking the time to read this and thank you for giving me a chance to keep going.
