MY HEARTFELT GOODBYE TO MY GOFUNDME UPDATES ❤️
Friday, September 4, 2026, will be my final day posting and updating my GoFundMe campaign.
There are truly no words for what my heart feels. What began as one of the hardest chapters of my life introduced me to an unexpected family of people who showed up with love, generosity, prayers, conversations, shares, encouragement, and hope.
To the single father raising five sons whom I’ve watched grow for nearly 30 years—your presence reminded me that some bonds never fade.
To my classmate’s daughter from more than 50 years ago—your kindness reminded me that time cannot erase meaningful connections.
To those who provided my television, nourishment, and wheelchair—you gave me more than things; you gave me moments of comfort, hope, mobility, and independence.
And to the unexpected angel and her newlywed husband who helped when the bills began to overwhelm me—your generosity arrived when I needed it most. I will never forget you.
To EVERYONE who donated, shared, called, prayed, checked on me, or simply cared:
YOU HELPED KEEP ME GOING.
I am literally sitting here in bed with tears in my eyes—not because my journey is over, but because I realize how many people stood beside me while I was struggling to stand on my own.
My battle continues as I work toward making my wheelchair safe, supportive, and comfortable.
The GoFundMe updates may be ending, but my voice is not. I’ll continue sharing my poetry and staying connected across Nextdoor, Instagram, Facebook, X, and TikTok.
I may have started this journey needing a wheelchair…
but along the way, I found a family.
For every act of kindness, large or small:
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 🙏🏾
My heart will carry your kindness with me
