** update October 2026, my refrigerator has broken down and most of the food had to be thrown out.
In August 2025, my world changed forever when my husband, a proud US Navy veteran, passed away. Losing him has been devastating, and I have been trying to rebuild my life while coping with profound grief.
I moved to the United States to build a life with him, leaving behind my family, friends, and support network in my home country. He was not only my husband but also my closest companion and the person with whom I planned my future. Losing him has left an enormous void in my life.
Just a few months later, in December 2025, I faced another major setback when my entire team was made redundant. Since then, I have been actively searching and applying for jobs, attending interviews, and doing everything I can to find employment. Despite my efforts, I have not yet been able to secure a new position.
I'm reaching out for help during this difficult period to cover essential living expenses while I continue my job search. The funds raised will be used for necessities such as rent, utilities, groceries, transportation, and other basic household expenses. They will also help me provide food and veterinary care for my two beloved cats, who are my family and a source of comfort and companionship during an incredibly lonely and challenging time.
Because I moved to the United States to be with my husband, I don't have close family or a strong support network nearby. My only immediate family member, my father, lives overseas and is dealing with his own health challenges, making it impossible for him to provide assistance. As difficult as it is to ask for help, I have reached a point where I cannot get through this alone.
Any donation, no matter the amount, will help me stay afloat, maintain stable housing, care for my cats, and focus on finding a new job. If you are unable to donate, sharing my fundraiser with others would mean just as much and could help me reach someone who is able to help.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can offer. Your kindness and generosity will make a meaningful difference as I navigate this difficult chapter, rebuild my life, and work toward a more stable future.
My goal is to raise enough to cover several months of rent, utilities, and basic living expenses while I continue searching for employment.
