I'm living with Ulcerative Colitis, a condition that took away my ability to work full-time. But despite this, I find joy in little things—like Spaz, my loving pet who brings light into every day.

Here's where you come in: the cost of rent and utilities has risen, leaving me just about hanging on by a thread with my social security alone. Each month is a battle to make ends meet.

I rely heavily on Remicade infusions for my condition—they’re essential but expensive. The treatments cost around $19,000, and although Medicare covers some of the cost I still have out-of-pocket costs of about $4,000 each time. Plus, before Medicare steps in, there are deductibles to meet first.

Imagine facing these challenges every day—that’s my reality. But here's where hope comes in: YOU!

I'm asking for help because I believe in the goodness of people and that we can come together during tough times. Your support could mean meeting essential medical costs, keeping a roof over my head, and continuing to live life on my own terms—with dignity and joy.

Let’s fight this battle together! Please share if you can or consider donating whatever amount feels right for you. Every dollar counts and is deeply appreciated from the bottom of my heart.
