Please support in raising $3,000 to help Natalie keep her car and stabilize her finances so she can focus on her health. Reliable transportation is essential for her medical care and daily life while living with disabilities.

Hello, my name is Mary, and I am creating this fundraiser for someone who has become incredibly important in my life, Natalie.

I have had the privilege of knowing Natalie for the past three years, and in that time, I have learned that strength does not always look loud or dramatic. Sometimes it looks like getting up anyway. Natalie has faced more health challenges than most people should ever have to face, and somehow, she still leads with kindness, humor, and a genuine care for others. She finds ways to smile even when her body gives her every reason not to.

Natalie lives with serious medical conditions, including cancer, heart issues, chronic pain, and mobility challenges that will eventually require a hip replacement. She has been through seven back surgeries and thirteen hand surgeries, and she is now facing new medical testing this year. Even short walks can leave her out of breath, and she relies on a heart monitor to help manage her condition. And yet, she still shows up for people. She still checks in on others. She still gives.

One thing Natalie truly depends on is her car. It may not seem like much, but for her, it means everything. It is how she gets to lifesaving appointments, picks up medications, and handles the everyday tasks that most of us don’t think twice about. It is also her sense of independence and a small but powerful reminder that she can still live her life on her own terms.

Right now, that independence is at risk.

Natalie lives alone on a limited disability income and is unable to work due to her health. Rising costs have made it harder and harder to keep up, and she has fallen behind on her car loan and essential bills. Losing her car would not just be inconvenient. It would make managing her health nearly impossible.

How the funds will be used:
• An urgent good faith payment of $1,657 to prevent Natalie’s car from being repossessed
• $1,343 will help Natalie catch up on the payments.

Asking for help is one of the hardest things for Natalie to do. She is the kind of person who would rather struggle quietly than burden anyone else. This fundraiser exists because I could not stand by and watch someone who has given so much face this alone.

Natalie is doing everything she can. She goes to a food shelf each week to stretch her groceries and has begun selling personal items and family heirlooms, pieces of her story, just to keep going. Even with all of that effort, she is still coming up short.

Your support will help Natalie:

• Make an urgent good-faith payment to prevent her car from being repossessed
• Catch up on the loan payment 
• Regain stability so she can focus on healing and managing her health

Any donation, no matter the size, helps lift some of the weight she has been carrying. It helps keep her car, reduce the constant stress of bills, and most importantly, allows her to focus on her health instead of worrying about what might be taken away next. If donating is not possible, sharing this page is just as meaningful.

After everything Natalie has endured, losing her car should not be part of her story. Your support can help her stay on the road, continue her treatments, and focus on healing instead of survival.

Thank you for taking the time to read Natalie’s story and for holding space for her. Your kindness, generosity, and even a simple share reminds her that she is seen, supported, and not alone. That reminder means more than I can put into words.
