Help Me Keep My Home While I Heal From My Injury.
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Janai, and I’m reaching out with a humble request for support during an incredibly difficult time in my life.
I was injured at work some time ago, and that injury ultimately turned into a long-term disability. Because of this, I’ve been unable to work, and recently, I lost the funds I was relying on due to a change in my disability status. This unexpected shift has left me struggling to keep up with my rent and bills, and now I’m three months behind on rent, which has added an overwhelming amount of stress to my situation.
Due to my condition, I am unable to maintain a steady income, and it has become nearly impossible to pay for basic living expenses. Each day is a constant battle, and the financial strain, along with the physical and emotional challenges I’m facing, is becoming too much to bear.
I’ve always prided myself on being independent and doing everything I can to take care of myself. Asking for help has never come easily for me, and reaching out like this has taken a lot of courage. However, the reality of my situation has made it clear that I need support to get through this difficult time.
Why I’m Reaching Out:
People who know me and my cats know they are the world to me. They are my constant companions, and without them, life would feel so much emptier. I truly don’t know what I would do if I lost the roof over my head or the car I depend on to get around. These things are not just physical necessities to me—they represent the stability and comfort that I need to care for myself and my beloved pets.
I’m asking for help to cover my rent and essential bills, so I can focus on my recovery without the added pressure of financial instability. The funds I receive will go directly to paying for:
Three months of overdue rent
Utility bills (electricity, water, internet)
Groceries and other basic needs
I’ve always tried to stand on my own, but right now, I’m in a position where I need to rely on the kindness of others. Your support will not only help me meet my immediate financial needs but will also give me the peace of mind to focus on healing, without worrying about where I’ll live or how I’ll manage the basics.
How You Can Help:
Any contribution, big or small, will make an incredible difference and will be deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to donate, sharing my story with your network would mean the world to me. Your kindness, whether through a donation or a share, is a lifeline that will help me get through this.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering helping me during this challenging time. Your generosity and support mean more to me than words can ever express.
Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart,
Janai
I truly believe there is some kindness still left in this chaotic world and I'm so grateful for every single person who helps.
