Hello everyone,
2024 was a very challenging time for me. I had the first car accident on March 5, 2024 which resulted on 2 herniated bulging disc on L4 and L5, 2 more on my neck and a tear on left knee. After therapy ended in June, I started to feel better. Then, I had the second accident on August 20, 2024. That one was much worst, it not only aggravated previous injuries. It also caused more damage to my Lumbar, where I had another herniation with bulging and pressing on my nerves going down the hips, thighs and legs, aggravated my neck and knees. The injuries refused to heal even after months of therapy, and the 4 shots. I worked at Edible Arrangement from May 2024 up until I couldn’t anymore when the car broke down with transmission problems January 24, 2025. My Lumbar kept getting worst where I needed surgery to get some relief from the pain and stiffness that I experienced from the surgery. I had decompression surgery on L4 and L5 on February 5, 2025. It’s been a healing journey since then, as of today I am still in pain and not yet recovery. I am praying that I get better and the nerve pain subsides. During my healing after the surgery, I have not been working given that the car had broke down and constant pain, and not being able to sit for too long. Bills have been accumulating although I managed to pay some of them by borrowing money that I need to pay back as soon as possible. The person whom let my dad borrow $2000 is my dad’s friend whom belittled me about where I am in life and felt bad about it and I guess decided to do that. I ended up borrowing $4000 from my sister, however she needs the money to get a place to stay. I am asking for donations because I am at the end of the rope. This is so out of my character so this is a very difficult thing for me to do. However, I feel like I have no other choice right now and it hurts me to feel so stuck and helpless. I love to support people in times of need and it hurts that I am not able to support myself more or less anyone. I have been living with my dad since September 2024 after my uncle his brother died and after losing my place and living in the car for some months. Truly I was a lot happier in the car because since the car broke down and the surgery it’s been a lot of mental and emotional stress living with my dad who finds pleasure in belittling me every chance he gets and I have been doing my best to protect my peace and keep our relationship alive. This is a very challenging time for me and my request and wish is to pay months car note that are due, fix the car, get car insurance again, pay the storage and pay for cats’ sitter whom has been so kind to us to allow me to owe her, pay back money that I borrowed to pay some car notes and bills. I had rescued these 2 wonderful cats who are so dear to my heart. They use to live in the complex I lived in and I was taking care of them so I couldn’t leave them behind. They lived outside at that time because I had my dog that didn’t get along with cats. Sadly he passed away 5 days before my birthday on July 20, 2024. That truly broke my heart. I truly wish that the situation was different for me. I need the donation because I am set to have another surgery for the tear on my left knee once I am cleared from the last one in August. It may take a few more months until I am fully recovered from both surgeries and i’ll love to be able to pay the accumulated bills and upcoming ones, and be able to survive while i am honna be healing from next surgery. It should be given to me because I am a grateful giver who dedicated my life to take care of 3 of my sisters kids from the age of 15 and been the head of household of 7 including myself. I took care of my mom for almost 2 years when she fell ill before passing. I’ll love the opportunity to be supported in my time of need. I’ll love the opportunity to get better and to get back to myself and support others again. Although I am experiencing hardship, i sill have others who depends on me in Haiti and i have not been able to assist them. I’ll love the opportunity to get the car fix, catch up on bills that are over due and get some work done before the next surgery. Although, I may not be able to do too much work, I can do something. I rather try to do some work then no work at all. Having all the accumulated debts, the upcoming ones and my dad on my back about the car because he’s the one who financed it for me is truly weighting me down. Without those stress and pressures from these debts I feel that i’ll be able to focus on healing and live with some peace of mind while I am still here with my dad. I am grateful to have my dad here although it’s challenging for us. However, i’ll love to be able to catch up on bills and not eat up all his food. The amount that I am requesting is $10,000 that is to pay off accumulated debts and upcoming ones . This is my story and it took me a while to finally build the courage to tell my story and ask for help. I am usually so quick to support others and unable to get supported by others. I am asking donors for support because I just don’t know what else to do about this and I have no one to ask. I have been stuck with this for a moment until the idea for this fundraising donation came to mind. Even then I have been fighting myself about doing this. I truly don’t know what else to do that is why I am asking and praying that my story touches others whom are able, willing, happy, and grateful to support me at this time. And if nothing comes out of this, well at least I tried because since I had this idea, I just been tormented by not doing it. I feel that now I am left with no choice but to do it so that i get supported and to stop the tormenting thoughts about doing it. I feel grateful because I am able to put my pride and shame to the side and be vulnerable enough to open up and share my story. That feels great to me because I have been suffering with this issue of not being able to open up to receive. Thank you to everyone who took the time to read my story. Even if you don’t donate to me just know that you taking the time to read my story is also helpful cause maybe you’ll send me some good energy and a miraculous prayer to move me forward. Who knows maybe you’re so connected to life that your great wishes open doors for me. Thank you so much for your kindness towards me, it truly is appreciated. Have a bless one.
