About this fundraiser

Immediate support needed to cover rent, utilities, groceries, and medical costs while I recover. 

Yesterday I faced a life-changing emergency: doctors had to remove part of my large colon (intestine) after a severe complication from a surgery I had when I was 18, while I was pregnant with my daughter. I'm in the hospital for a few days and then require weeks of in home health care i can't afford. I HAVE NO CAR OR MONEY FOR GAS SO SOMEONE CAN BRING ME TO Appointments. I'm in severe pain and with no income to pay essential bills or buy my several prescriptions. TRUMP SEVERELY, SCREWED ME OVER WHEN HE CHANGED EVERYTHING. If I don’t get support now I WILL NOT HAVE ELECTRICITY to go home to. I’m at real risk of losing my home also. I’m sharing this because I’ve exhausted personal resources, and I need your help while I heal. I've sold everything I own, including the only dress I had left of my daughter just to keep electricity months ago. Nothing left to sale. 

What your gift will do:                                             - Keep a roof over our heads and essential utilities on (rent, electricity, water, heat)                 - Cover groceries and basic living costs during recovery. Delivered to my house                             - Pay out-of-pocket medical costs (medications, wound care, follow-up visits, transportation)         - Build a small emergency reserve for unexpected health expenses in the coming weeks

How the funds will be used                                     - Housing: rent and utilities.                                     - Groceries and essentials.                                       - Medical costs not covered by insurance.             - Recovery support: home health supplies, transportation to Dr. Appointment and home health.                                                                       -  Emergency fund for unforeseen health costs

Why this matters.                                                     - Provides immediate stability at a critical recovery moment.                                                     - Reduces crushing financial stress so I can focus on healing and following up with doctors.             - Sets the stage for a safer, steadier path back to work and family care.              

Who this helps.                                                         - Me and my family, facing urgent health needs and the risk of eviction and loss of utilities.            - The broader community: your support helps me stay connected to responsibilities and caregiving during recovery.
