Dear Friend,
My name is Jessica,and I am humbly asking for your support in this dire time. I am a 48‑year‑old mother, who was seriously injured at work on April 27, 2025. I slipped and fell, rupturing my ACL and tearing cartilage down to the bone. On June 24, 2025, I underwent orthopedic surgery—but my doctor tells me the only remaining option will be a knee replacement.
Because of the fall, I can barely walk. I used to walk to get to work—but after missing two days due to being unable to walk, my employer terminated me. Those 2 day's I called half‑hour before my shift which was against policy, you have to call an hour before shift, yet I still did call and let them know my reason hoping I could make it. Workmen’s compensation rejected my surgery, transport, and lost‑wage claims, citing that my firing occurred due to my missed shifts. And unemployment has disqualified me.
Today, I have no income. I am struggling to pay rent, utilities, groceries—each day feels like a mountain. I am three months behind on rent: $3,075 overdue, my electricity is $ 300 behind, water $297, internet $137, and gas $723.My landlord has called daily; I managed to give him $225 last week and promise more this week, but the balance looms. Without help, I face eviction, and I’ve already had to ration electricity and water just so my family can get by.
I am still learning how to walk again. Every step is painful. Any help at all right now—no matter how small—would be a true godsend.
Why Your Help Matters
• Immediate relief: Your donation can help me pay rent and utilities that are due today.
• Medical recovery: Every small gift helps me afford transportation to follow‑up appointments and begin physical therapy to regain my mobility.
• Long‑term hope: Your support buys me time until I can find new work or government support, and avoid falling into homelessness and debt.
This is not a request I ever imagined making—but I’m asking now because I’ve exhausted every other option. I am deeply committed to working again, but first I must be able to stand on my own two feet.
Your action
If you feel moved to help, please consider sending whatever you can:
• $50 pays for groceries for a week
• $100 helps cover part of overdue rent
• $745 helps cover one month of rent or multiple medical visits
Gratitude and forward look
I understand that times are difficult for many. Even if you cannot contribute financially, your support means the world: please share this message, pray for me, or simply send a kind thought.
From the bottom of my heart: thank you. Whether your help comes in dollars, encouragement, or kindness—it matters. Your compassion gives me hope.
With sincere appreciation,
Jessica
P.S. Your donation today can make the difference between staying sheltered and losing everything. Even $25 helps keep the lights on or food on the table. Thank you for considering.
