Good day! Wherever you are in the world, I hope this finds you in good spirits.

This is fundraiser is for me looking for financial help to eliminate 50k worth of debts. How did it get to this point. Well, let me explain.

Back in 2005 or so, my mother was diagnosed with an incurable disease called Huntington's disease. I was living in Florida at the time going to college. The year 2009 rolled around and had a phone conversation with my mother. I sensed trouble behind the sweet voice on the phone. That is when I packed up everything and moved back to North Carolina to help my mother. The disease had progressed to a point where she could not work or drive anymore. That is when I stepped in to take care of her. And yes, I did graduate from college before moving back to North Carolina.

From 2009 to 2019, I virtually gave up the American dream I once had to support my mother. The dream of traveling the world, owning a new house, and close relationships with friends. I fought this alone without the aid of my siblings who had constantly turned me down when I needed help the most. During those years, I surrendered my finances, retirement income, and more just to keep a roof over our heads and put food on the table. It was even harder to support her full-time while working a full-time job. Stuff like doctor appointments, knitting groups at the nearby mall, doing errands, driving her to friends and family, and much more. After years of begging for help from my siblings, in 2019 they finally stepped in to put our mother in assisted living. My heart broken words to them at the time was “What took you so long?” No replies ever came.

Since then, I have struggled to recover lost finances and paying off debts with a low paying job. With 50k worth of debts, I feel like I have made a dent into it. This is money I've borrowed from friends, high interest loans, as well as personal loans from the bank. I am at a point where I am giving up on life after making the ultimate sacrifice. My siblings do not see it that way. I have been diagnosed with mild form of PTSD as a result of caring for my mom alone. I currently live along with no friends and technically no family other than my father who is retired. The disease has advanced tremendously for my mother where she cannot function anymore.

I am in need of these funds within a couple of weeks in order to pay back outstanding debts, bills, loans, rent, and car maintenance. Your support will mean a whole lot to me knowing there are still good people out there in this chaotic world today. Somewhere underneath the ash of darkness there is light and hope. I am a humble person with a big heart. I pray there are other people like this out there somewhere.

If you choose to donate to my cause, I will be forever grateful to your generosity and will personally thank you for being kind. Your help will be forever etched into my memory for as long as I live. If and when I am able to recover financially, I will be happy to help others with small donations.

Thank you for taking the time to help the campaign.

With Warmest Regards,
