I've been trying to stay strong on my own in Kenner, Louisiana over the past year on a fixed disability income as I battle thyroid cancer. Every day presents a new challenge, but my current living situation has added an extra layer of difficulty. The apartment is falling apart—peeling paint, mold in corners, and a persistent dampness that I can't escape. These conditions wreak havoc on my already vulnerable immune system, turning my home into a place of constant stress.
I'm aiming to raise $1,000 to help cover the expenses of moving to a healthier and safer environment. My income barely covers my basic needs, and saving up for a move feels impossible when each month is a constant balancing act. This isn't just about physical health; it's about peace of mind, knowing I can rest without fear of worsening my condition.
Every contribution gets me closer to leaving behind the damp walls and broken fixtures, and stepping into a place where healing is possible. Moving would mean focusing on recovery without the nagging anxiety over my surroundings. Having a safe home would be a significant relief during this uphill battle with cancer.
