About this fundraiser

protected

Hello, my name is Alie. All my life, I was employed full-time, taking care of everything on my own, helping my family and friends in times of need. In February 2024, my rotator cuff on my right shoulder ruptured and tore completely, causing mandatory surgery. It has been very painful and truly difficult to even try to raise my right arm to a normal level. It is a work comp claim that the insurance denied in May because they had the wrong body area on their claim.

I am on government assistance for food and basic health but not financial, I don’t qualify. I am behind in my rent, electricity, doctors that don’t accept traditional Medicaid, transportation, and various needs. I am having the surgery at the end of September or October. I also have 2 grandchildren (8yr & 3yr) that fill me with happiness when I see them. The regular agencies to help can’t because I have no firm way to pay for myself later on - next month or two. This is a situation where I will lose my home and everything.

Please understand, I’m not begging and have always taken care of my family and myself as well as lent a hand to all (friend/stranger). Thank you for your time to read this. Thank you also in advance for your help.

Hey there! I wanted to share that I'm facing a tough time right now due to a ruptured rotator cuff that requires surgery. Each donation will have a profound impact on my recovery journey, and even sharing this link could make a huge difference. Could you please click the link below to donate or share? Thank you so much!

Have a truly beautiful and blessed day.
