I am reaching out to my community today with a humble heart and a request for a little bit of grace and support.

For the past 20 years, I have dedicated my life to teaching students with severe disabilities. It is a career I love deeply! I am a newly divorced woman living on a single income, the recent rise in the cost of living has hit me incredibly hard. Despite working full-time, the reality of today's economy means that I have fallen behind on basic living expenses. Right now, I am living less than paycheck to paycheck.

I am currently facing a mountain of past-due utility bills and basic household expenses that I simply cannot outrun on my own. It is an incredibly difficult thing to admit when you need help, but I have reached a point where I cannot get back on my feet without a little bit of assistance.

My immediate goal is to raise funds to clear these overdue utility and household bills so I can breathe again and regain stability.

Every single donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward keeping my lights on, my house running, and getting me back on solid ground. If you aren't able to donate, simply sharing this post with your network would mean the world to me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, your time, and your support.

With extreme gratitude,

Jill
