Andrea NEEDS Your Help

Hello ... My name is Selah. Andrea is my friend.

On October 10th 2024 Andrea was physically assaulted at work by a co-worker completely unprovoked! She was so severely injured that unfortunately, ever being able to work again looks highly unlikely. Barring a miracle. Work was Andrea's happy place. And I can vouch for the fact that she was a hard worker and took pride in doing good work!

Andrea has had no income for the past year and a half. And there are medical bills that are past due. She also owes back rent to her landlords who have generously, and kindly allowed her to stay in her apartment.

She also has monthly injections that just take the edge off of her severe pain levels. Just getting a meal is hard!

$20,000 feels like an insurmountable amount of money. But I know that with a little bit from a lot of people, we can definitely raise that...

Andrea is currently fighting to get her disability. Unfortunately the process has been long and slow.

If you find it in your heart to give whatever you can, know that it will be deeply appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your kindness and generosity. God bless you with all the treasures of the heavens and the Earth for it...

Sincerely, Selah

Hello friends! Thank you so much to all who have donated!!!

Since the writing of this initial story, Andrea has been asked to find different housing.

She also requests that you pray specifically that God would help her and her disability lawyer win her disability appeal. This is her last appeal before she has to reapply. Which will set off another year-long process. The dear lady has no income. Gratefully she has food stamps and is covered for food. But needs help with toiletries. Plus the bills have not gone away. Thank you so much for caring! Keep praying. Keep sharing! ❤️ Selah

Hey Friends, Just wanted to let you know that Andrea is extremely grateful for your prayers and support! We are excited to see how God is going to continue to fulfill this need through you and your kind generosity!

Today Andrea is meeting with her pain management team to see if they can find something to relieve her pain... Since the last lidocaine infusion did absolutely nothing for her... Please continue to pray for God's guidance and for wisdom for her doctors.

She expressed to me the other morning that she is so extremely grateful every penny that comes in.

Thank you again for being the hands and feet of Jesus to Andrea. ❤️ Selah

Update on 8/29/26

Andrea has been notified by her landlady that she has to be out of the basement apartment she's in by December 31st, 2026.

She is still waiting for her disability appeal to be heard. And is facing homelessness again! I say again because this is the fourth time in the past few years that she has faced homelessness!

Because she has no income, but has food stamps, she is needing a place that she can stay indefinitely, with no stairs. I know asking to stay for free is asking a lot. I want her to have a bedroom at the least, not just be crashing on someone's couch.

She is dealing with excruciating pain and looking at surgery in the future. This surgery only has a 50/50 chance of working. Which makes it very hard.

Donations here have been at a complete standstill for quite some time!

June 18th was the last donation received, and that was privately. Currently the donations received for this privately and here have only totaled $ $4,455.

Obviously not all of that came through this fundraiser. $2,000 if that was given privately by an anonymous person. And it meant the absolute world to Andrea! 🥹 I did a cinnamon roll fundraiser with our church, and the total of that is yet to be decided. But it is in the neighborhood of $200.

Every penny helps. But the desperation level in this situation, has only upped since Andrea has been given a date when she has to be out and it isn't in the spring.

She is waiting for government housing. But the wait list is 4 to 6 years long...😣 Unless she can get disability. And then she goes to the top of the list. 🙏🏻 But it could go another 9 months before the disability hearing happens! Please pray. Thanks. Selah

In the previous update, I mentioned a cinnamon roll fundraiser I was doing on the side. I mentioned that I was expecting around $200 in donations total. I can only imagine God winking and having a little chuckle to himself. 😉 Because let's just say, the donations absolutely blew that out of the water. $756 was raised! And my heart was so full!

To add to that another very large donation was made on here, which just thrilled my soul! Praising God for each one of you. Please continue to keep Andrea in your prayers and spread the word about this fundraiser. You are being God's hands and feet! ❤️ With gratitude and much Love, Selah

9/5/2026 update: The written Prayer photo was from Andrea! She wants y'all to keep praying for this specific thing... Thanks

Update: 10/17/26

Andrea just texted me asking me to let you all know that she is in need of moving and packing items. She said "I hate sounding like a beggar, but that's pretty much what I am right now."

Pray. And as you can. Give. God bless you, in Jesus's Name! Selah
