Due to health issues, I’m unable to work, and my only income is from Survivors Benefits after my son’s father passed away in a drowning accident. I have to split this small amount between bills, and it’s never enough. I get electricity shut-off notices almost every month, and I’ve been denied disability three times. Now, I’m waiting for my doctor to help me with an advocate, but it’s a constant stress. I never have money to buy my son anything or get my car fixed and smogged, which I need to get to doctor’s appointments. This situation has become a mental strain, and I’ve become very depressed from everything I’ve been dealing with.

I’m just praying for a little help to get above water because most days I feel like I’m drowning. I’m not the one to ask for help—I usually suffer in silence and try to do what I can, but it’s exhausting. Anything would be so greatly appreciated. Your support would help me cover basic bills, keep the electricity on, fix and smog my car, and provide for my son’s needs. It would also help relieve some of the constant stress and give me a chance to get back on my feet while I work through the disability process.

Thank you for reading my story and considering helping us during this difficult time. Any support would mean so much to me and my son. I am truly grateful for any kindness you can offer.
