My name is Nina, and my journey has been marked by immense challenges, particularly a battle against cancer that has now reached an accelerated stage. I'm reaching out for help to extend my time here, not just for myself but to continue being a grandmother, daughter, mother, and friend.

In 2014, I was diagnosed with cancer, and after losing my husband two years ago, my primary support and financial anchor vanished. Part-time work sustained me after a motorcycle accident in 2003, but now, my options are limited due to my health. I lack family financial support, and my physical capabilities have been impacted, yet I'm fortunate to have a strong emotional support network.

I recently found myself homeless after holding onto a rental property for as long as possible following my husband's passing. Thankfully, a kind soul helped secure a studio apartment for me for a month. However, to undergo the necessary transplant that could potentially eradicate the cancer, I must have a stable living environment. This stability is a prerequisite for the procedure.

My current need is for at least two months' rent, totaling $950 per month including utilities. I'm located in a remote area northeast of Phoenix, lacking reliable transportation and with only minimal physical support available. A car would immensely assist in getting essentials like groceries.

I've applied for disability support, but its approval may take some time, hindering my ability to move forward with the crucial transplant. Basic necessities like cleaning supplies, dog food for my special-needs pup, and personal care items are also needed.

I'm reaching out in hopes of raising enough funds to secure a stable home environment, a vehicle for basic mobility, and to cover essential needs while I await disability support. Every contribution, whether financial or in the form of prayers and support, is deeply appreciated.

I understand the importance of transparency. I'm more than willing to provide any necessary documentation, including medical records, rental agreements, and disability application status. Your consideration, support, or even sharing my story is immensely valuable.

Thank you for taking the time to read my plea for help. Your generosity and compassion mean more than words can express.

With heartfelt gratitude,

• Nina
