My Story:
I am asking for help because over the past few years, I have faced a series of concussions that have had a profound impact on my ability to lead a normal life. These concussions have left me with persistent symptoms that make it extremely difficult to maintain a traditional job. Many of my everyday tasks now require a new outlook. The dizzy spells, loss of memory, vision issues, and coordination diminishment all continue to obscure my journey in obstacles. The unpredictability of my condition has made it challenging to find stable employment, and I find myself needing an alternative path to financial security and personal fulfillment.

Amid adversity, I am embarking on a new adventure – the creation of "The Dragon's Leaf." This endeavor is not just a business; it is a manifestation of my passion for art, a sanctuary for weary souls, and a celebration of nature through plants. I have decided to channel my creativity and love of plants into launching a home-based business that allows me to share a sense of serenity and happiness with others. That's why I'm asking the public for help, because by December I need the funds to keep me afloat and launch the grand opening. This venture is not just a means of income; it's a gateway to reclaiming my independence and to being able to support my family. It will help to pay the medical bills and pursue my dream.

I am deeply thankful for your time and consideration. Your generosity will empower me to overcome the obstacles I have faced and create a brighter future for myself and my family. Your support serves as a beacon of hope in my pursuit of brighter days. Please share this campaign within your circles to help spread the word and inspire others to join hands in making this dream come true!
