Three months ago, I had surgery that changed everything. I'm newly disabled and struggling to get back on my feet.

Right now, I'm flat broke. My van broke down and needs a $230 part, without it, I have no way to get around. I'm staying with a friend from church who's been kind enough to let me have a roof over my head, but I can't keep relying on their generosity forever.

I haven't got much started yet, but I'm trying to figure out what comes next. This fundraiser would help me cover the immediate costs I'm facing, the van repair and other essentials I need to stabilize my situation.

If you're able to help, it would mean so much to me. Thank you for standing with me during this difficult time.
