**"Hi friends, family, and kind strangers— We're going through a tough chapter right now. Life has thrown us some unexpected challenges, and we're doing our best to stay strong and keep moving forward. But we can't do it alone. After years of hard work, I’ve had to take my retirement early — not because I was ready, but because life left me no other choice. As a breast cancer survivor, I’ve already fought one battle that changed my life forever. Now I’m facing another: trying to stay afloat on an income that doesn’t cover basic living expenses while debt continues to grow.
Surviving cancer taught me resilience, but it also came with lasting medical challenges and financial strain. I’ve always tried to stand on my own two feet, but right now, I need a little help to keep going. This fundraiser is my way of asking for support with dignity and hope.
Every contribution helps me breathe a little easier and focus on rebuilding without the constant weight of financial stress. If you’re able to donate or share, it would mean the world to me. Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping me continue forward with strength and gratitude.
