My Story — Why I Need Help

Over the past two years, my life has completely changed in ways I never could have imagined.

I went from being a high-functioning professional, earning a six-figure income and supporting my family, to fighting for my health and simply trying to stay afloat. It started with sepsis and septic shock something that nearly took my life. During that time, doctors discovered a brain tumor. I underwent surgery, and from there, everything shifted.

Since then, I’ve been diagnosed with multiple debilitating health conditions that have made it impossible for me to return to the career I worked so hard to build.

Despite everything, I tried to push forward. In May, I began the process of returning to work. But during an interview, I suffered a stroke. In the aftermath, doctors found yet another brain tumor. Now, I’m facing an uncertain future all over again.

The financial impact has been devastating. I’ve lost my home and my car. I’ve had to completely start over, all while dealing with ongoing medical challenges. I do receive disability, but I am currently in the middle of transitioning to the federal system, and the payments are inconsistent. I never know when or if I will be paid, which makes it nearly impossible to keep up with basic living expenses.

The stress of this financial instability is overwhelming and is taking a serious toll on my health as I try to recover.

What makes this even harder is that I am currently separated from my two older sons because I simply cannot afford to live where they are. That reality alone is heartbreaking. Everything I am fighting for is to rebuild a life where I can be with all of my children again.

I don’t want to give up. I don’t want to file for bankruptcy I am trying to fight my way back. My goal is to regain stability, finish school, and build an online business that will allow me to work from home despite my health limitations. I want to be productive again. I want my independence back.

Right now, though, the growing debt and daily financial pressure are becoming too much to carry alone.

If you’re able to help in any way, no matter how small, it would mean more than I can put into words. Your support would help me keep a roof over my head, pay down mounting bills, and give me the chance to focus on healing and rebuilding my future.

More than anything, it would help me get back to my children and the life I’m fighting so hard to reclaim.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and for any support, prayers, or shares.
