Thank You for Visiting My GoFundMe

I want to start by expressing my gratitude for taking the time to visit my GoFundMe page. I created this fundraiser because, unfortunately, I became a victim of a scam that completely drained my bank accounts. This horrifying experience happened on January 15, 2025. When I opened my banking app, I was in shock to see that everything was gone—just like that.

It's hard to put into words how I feel. You hear stories about scams, but when it happens to you or someone you care about, it’s a whole different reality. Right now, I’m left with nothing.

After talking to a few friends, I decided to create this page. I have important appointments coming up and surgery soon that I’ve been saving for, but now all the money I had for medical expenses, physical therapy, and even basic needs like gas and food has vanished.

I was also planning to use those funds to support my recovery after the surgery, but that’s not an option anymore.

I have an appointment in Melbourne on January 30 at the Alfred Hospital, and since I live six hours away, I now don’t even have the funds to cover travel expenses like petrol and parking.

If anyone could donate even a little to help me get by, I would be incredibly grateful. I know times are tough for many people, so if you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page.

Thank you so much for your support; I appreciate anything you can do. xx
