A fresh start

Hi everyone! my name is Georgia, and I’m reaching out during one of the most challenging times of my life. Earlier this year, while working as a Certified Nursing Assistant, I suffered a severe concussion on the job. The injury forced me to miss several weeks of work, and though I received some support from workers' compensation, it wasn’t nearly enough to cover my basic living expenses.

Since then, I’ve been battling constant migraines, memory problems, and fatigue. Even though recovery has been slow and painful, I’ve had to keep working to stay afloat. Unfortunately, the bills didn’t stop when I got hurt. I’ve had to take out several high-payment loans just to cover rent, utilities, and essential needs. Now, I’m struggling to keep up, and the stress of these debts is becoming overwhelming.

I recently graduated with my bachelor’s degree in psychology, and I’ve been taking nursing prerequisites to pursue my dream of becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I want to use my experiences: both personal and professiona, to help others heal and find hope. But right now, the financial strain and ongoing health issues are making it hard to move forward. All proceeds will go towards:

  • Catching up on rent and essential bills
  • Pay down emergency loans and utilities
  • Maintain basic stability while I continue my medical recovery
  • Stay on track toward my nursing education and long-term goals

Your kindness and encouragement mean the world to me. This support isn’t just financial — it’s giving me a lifeline to rebuild, recover, and keep working toward helping others in the future.

Thank you, truly, for taking the time to read my story and for standing by me through this difficult season. 💙
