Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out during a very difficult chapter in my life and asking for help that I never imagined I would need. On January 30, 2025, I was unexpectedly let go from my job. Since then, despite actively searching, I have not yet been able to secure new employment.

During this time, my challenges have continued to grow. I was involved in a car accident that resulted in my vehicle being totaled, creating additional financial and transportation hardships. Shortly after, I experienced a serious health issue where fluid had to be removed from my heart. Due to my recovery and ongoing health concerns, returning to work immediately is not medically ideal at this time.

As a result, bills have accumulated, including living expenses, medical-related costs, and basic necessities. On top of everything, I am also a parent to a teenager who is preparing to graduate, and I am doing my best to remain strong and present for them during this important milestone.

I am asking for support to help me stay afloat during this period — to cover essential expenses, relieve some of the financial pressure, and allow me the time needed to heal and get back on my feet. Any contribution, no matter the amount, or even sharing this page, truly means more than words can express.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any kindness you’re able to offer. Your support gives me hope and strength during a time when I need it most.

With gratitude,

Melissa
