I am creating this fundraiser because, I am still struggling to afford the basics. Lately, it feels like I am always in survival mode, doing everything I can just to get by. I am trying hard to stay afloat, but the cost of living has made it incredibly difficult to keep up. On top of that, I live with scoliosis, which adds another layer of physical pain and stress to everyday life. It is painful and humbling to ask for help, but right now I need support to make it through this difficult season. 

My biggest need right now is help with food and basic stability. I need support paying for groceries so I can make sure I have enough to eat, and I also need help with gas for my car so I can keep getting to work and handling daily responsibilities. Living with scoliosis means there are days when my body needs rest, but taking even one day off work can leave me worrying about whether I will be able to afford food. That constant pressure has been emotionally and physically exhausting. 

Any support would help give me breathing room while I manage both financial stress and chronic pain. Your kindness would help me eat, get where I need to go, and take care of myself without the constant fear of falling even further behind. If you are able to donate or share this fundraiser, I would be deeply grateful. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping me through a time when I truly need support.
