My Story
My name is Nina. After 31 years of marriage, my husband and I moved to Arizona to be closer to our grandkids. We used our retirement savings to start fresh and build a new life near family.
But life had other plans. Within one week, I lost both my husband and his mother. Two weeks before his new life insurance policy would have started, my husband passed away suddenly — and I was left with nothing.
Now, three years later, I’m 55, widowed, living on disability, and fighting leukemia. In August, I finally qualified for Medicare, and recently I was approved for a TKI — a targeted chemotherapy treatment for my type of leukemia. Thankfully, a major drug company stepped in to cover that specific medication.
But here’s the reality: I still cannot afford my other essential prescriptions that Medicare doesn’t fully cover. Those medicines are critical to keeping me stable day-to-day. Without them, my health continues to decline.
I’ve just come home from another hospital stay. Even so, when my health allows, I’m applying for remote online work to supplement my income. I’m doing everything I can to stand on my own again — but right now, I can’t do it alone.
On top of it all, I’m facing eviction this week. No savings, no car, no family nearby other than one overburdened daughter — it’s just me and my dogs, fighting to hold on.
Why I Refuse to Give Up
Even with everything stacked against me, I don’t want to just survive. I want to rise.
Out of my pain, I’ve created a vision: the Universal Love Project — an app designed to bring daily encouragement, devotionals, and reminders that love never leaves us.
The app is already built — I’m now in the final stages of tweaking and fine-tuning it to ensure it launches the right way. This isn’t just a project; it’s my legacy for my children and grandchildren, and a way to turn grief into light for others.
The Universal Love Project is multifaceted, with many hidden details built in. It includes interactive features, uplifting devotionals, and meditation music tailored to different levels of learning. It won’t be like anything else on the market — it’s designed to engage, inspire, and meet people where they are, helping them grow in love and healing.
And because it matters that much, I’ve made sure it will go forward no matter what. My granddaughter has a copy of the code and has promised to launch it if I cannot. Universal Love will shine, with or without me.
