A Bridge Through a Difficult Time”

I’ve always been the one who loves to help others—it truly brings me joy to give, especially when someone least expects it. Asking for help has never come easy for me… but right now, life has placed me in a position where I need to. After having a stroke, I haven’t been able to work and am still waiting on my disability. During that time, I’ve been doing everything I can to stay afloat—covering medical insurance, bills, and co-pays—while trying to heal and move forward. There have even been times I’ve had to put off seeing a new doctor simply because I couldn’t afford it. Now, with my father’s recent passing, I’m trying to cover his cremation costs while everything else continues to pile on. At the same time, I’m facing the fear of losing my home, my car is no longer fixable, and I’ve had to rely on rides or Uber just to get where I need to go. Renting a car is possible—but it would stretch things even tighter. This is not easy for me to share. I’m used to being on the other side—the one helping. But right now, I’m doing my best to hold everything together, and it’s becoming a lot to carry on my own. If you feel led to help in any way, it would truly lift a weight off my heart and help me move forward during this difficult time. 💛 As a thank you, for every donation, I will create a handmade seashell flower—just like the ones I sell—made with love and gratitude. So instead of a handout, I hope you can see it as supporting something meaningful—each flower helping me take one step forward. If you’re not able to give, your support, prayers, and kindness still mean everything to me. 🌊 Thank you for being part of my journey forward.
