Hi, my name is Christine, and I never thought I’d be in a position where I’d need to ask for help like this. But life has thrown me a curveball, and I’m reaching out with the hope that someone out there can help me and my child through this incredibly tough time.

I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a chronic condition that causes constant pain, extreme fatigue, and brain fog. It’s been overwhelming — both physically and emotionally. As a single mom, I’ve always worked hard to support my child on my own, but this illness has made it nearly impossible to continue working even part time. 

Every day is a struggle just to get through the basics. And with my income now significantly reduced, I’m facing real fears about how I’ll pay my basic bills and transportation. I’m doing everything I can, but I continue to drown month after month and can never catch a break. Stress is a huge trigger for my condition and no mater how much  I try to reduce it, the financial undertow is always there ready to pull me down. I have always been extremely independent and don't find it easy to ask for help, but I can’t do this alone anymore.

What I’m Asking For

If you’re able to help, your support would go directly toward:

Bills and utilities 

Groceries,  basic needs for myself and  my child

Medical bills, treatment, and medications

Transportation to doctor visits

Even a small donation would mean the world to us. If you’re not in a position to give, sharing this with others would still help more than you know.

Thank You from the Bottom of My Heart

This has been one of the hardest times of my life — but I’m holding onto hope. Thank you for reading, and thank you for caring. Your kindness is something I’ll never forget.

With love and gratitude,
Christine
