About this fundraiser

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write.

A little over a year ago, my life fell apart in a way I never could have imagined. A wage garnishment drained my income and sent everything spiraling — I lost my car, my job, and then my home. Since then, I’ve been living on the streets, alone, scared, and fighting just to survive.

I’ve been hospitalized multiple times due to the physical and emotional toll this has taken on me. There were days I didn’t know if I’d make it through the night. Days I felt invisible. Days I lost faith that anyone still cared.

But I’m still here. And I’m still trying.

I’m asking for $25,000 to help me rebuild the basic foundation of a life:
🏠 A safe place to live
🚗 A car so I can get back to work
❤️ Medical help to heal what this year has broken

I don’t need luxury — I just need a chance. A chance to feel human again. To rest without fear. To work with purpose. To heal.

If you’ve ever felt like everything was falling apart… or like no one saw your pain… please hear me. I’m not giving up, but I can’t do this alone.

Your kindness, your generosity, even just sharing this fundraiser — it could change everything for me.

Thank you for reading this. Thank you for believing in second chances.
