My name is Tania Aguilar, and I’ve spent my life working with my hands here in the Coachella Valley. At 38, I’ve always been the one to provide, working long hours in construction to ensure my family has everything they need on Santa Fe Ct. But two weeks ago, a freak accident on a job site changed everything.

A heavy equipment failure resulted in a complex fracture in my dominant wrist and forearm. For a man who makes his living with his hands, this isn't just an injury—it’s a total loss of livelihood. I’ve gone from being the first one on the site to someone who can’t even pick up a wrench or drive my truck.

The Financial Wall:
Because I work as an independent contractor, I don’t have disability insurance or paid leave. The medical bills for the emergency surgery to install pins in my arm are already totaling over $6,500, and that’s not counting the months of physical therapy I need to regain my grip. We are already falling behind on rent and utilities, and the stress is keeping me up at night.

I’m raising $9,500 to cover my surgical deductibles and our basic living expenses for the next three months. I’m not looking for a handout; I’m looking for a 'hand up' so I can focus on healing and get back to work. I want to be the provider my kids deserve again. Any donation or share of this link means more to us than you can imagine. Thank you for standing with a local worker.
