Help Nakia Escape & Heal After Open Heart Surgery

Hello! My name is Nakia and ever since I had a surprise quadruple bypass last August, I have been trapped in a toxic living situation with a relative I don’t feel safe around.

I’m on Go Fund Me to ask for help with:

• escaping an oppressive, hostile environment
• finding a safe place in which to live and create a home
• recouping our savings towards a new place, which we used towards the past due rent on my relative’s apartment in order to avoid eviction
• recovering from open heart surgery and unresolved/worsening symptoms (fainting spells, paralysis events, shortness of breath, dizziness, extreme fatigue, etc.) 
• maintaining habits for my heart-healthy lifestyle (meds, nutrition, exercise, etc)
• contributing to my own cost of living while I go through the long Disability approval process 
• and rebuilding my life after this traumatic, devastating year

Your generous donations will go towards the following:

** MOST URGENT **
(due to quick turnaround after depleting funds on relative’s past due rent)

• Connection Fees & Deposits for Energy and Internet Services
• Car Payment & Car Insurance
• August Rent Assistance 

 
** HIGH PRIORITY **

• Updating License, Title, Registration from Florida to Iowa (seriously overdue!)
• Car Repairs and Maintenance  - new tires by winter, preferably sooner as they’re on their last ~wheels~ hehe, repair cracked windshield and broken front bumper, new windshield wipers, etc.

** ONGOING COSTS **
(for support while I apply for Disability, which takes approximately 5 months)

• contribution to monthly expenses: rent, electric, internet, water, car payment, car insurance, household items, renter’s insurance, etc. 
• groceries that support heart healthy nutrition and lifestyle
• gas for transporting my mom and my niece as needed
• personal care items and services (my unibrow begs you for a wax!) 

 ** DO IT FOR THE CATS! **
 (all 4 of them: Lulu, Sylvie, Luna, and Boog)

• wet & dry cat food, toppers & treats
• cat litter & litter genie refills
• establish care with vet, get check ups
• updated vaccinations and treatments
• possible grooming service for Lulu’s skin condition, excessive dander and matting

** UNPAID DEBTS DUE TO MEDICAL ISSUES **
(Fun fact: my credit score dropped nearly 200 points in the past year…)

• Refund Web Client Due to Unfinished Site
• Repay Personal Loan From Friends
• Pay Off Credit Card and Collection Debts 
• Payment Towards Apple Card - I share this card with my mom and use it for emergencies, but she’s the one making the payments, so I would like to help her bring the balance and interest down

Whew! I think that’s all of the important stuff. I left out a lot of the details, but hopefully this gives you a general idea of why I need help until I can post an update.

 If you would rather send funds another way, I have the following options as well:

• PayPal: http://paypal.me/NakiaTyler
• CashApp: $bubbleshine 
•  Apple Pay: (if you have my number) 

 I totally get that times are hard for most of us in this crazy world and I appreciate absolutely ANYTHING you can donate from the bottom of my heart.

I will also need help with a few things that will cost time instead of money, and there are some secondhand household items we are on the lookout for if you’ve got some collecting dust! I’ll post that stuff later.

 Phone calls, messages, check-ins, encouragement, prayers, uplifting words, and any other good vibes you may want to send are all appreciated as well!

 It is difficult for me to admit that I’ve ended up in this situation and need help getting out of it, but I am grateful for the opportunity to reach out and humbly receive some much-needed kindness, compassion, and generosity from my fellow humans.

Thank you sooooo much for taking the time to consider my campaign. I love you and appreciate you!
