My name is Shirley Cooper. I’m writing this because I honestly don’t know what else to do right now. I recently lost my partner, and since that happened, everything I thought I could handle has become harder. I’m trying to grieve, trying to keep myself together, and at the same time trying to figure out how I’m going to make it through each week financially. I haven’t been able to go back to work because of everything I’m dealing with. That has left me without the income I depend on for the most basic things. The bills keep coming, the refrigerator still needs to be filled, and there are expenses that I simply can’t put off any longer. There are moments when I sit and realize that I’m worrying about groceries and bills while still trying to come to terms with losing the person I shared my life with. It’s overwhelming. I never thought I would be the person asking for financial help. I’ve always wanted to take care of myself and handle my own problems. But right now, I need some help getting through a chapter of my life that I never expected to face. I’m raising money to help cover food, household bills, and necessities while I’m unable to work and try to recover from this loss. I’m not asking for anything beyond what I need to get through this difficult period and have a little breathing room.
If you can give, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you can’t, I completely understand. Even sharing this with
