Help Hope Live is a nonprofit that exists to help individuals who have experienced catastrophic illness fundraise for medical & essential living expenses incurred as a result of their illness. Donations are tax deductible. Tiffany’s Story:

If you know me, you probably know me as someone who loves people, faith, family, music, creativity, travel and finding ways to bring a little more joy into the lives of others.

What you may not always see is how dramatically my health has changed my everyday life. For the past several years, I have been navigating increasingly debilitating symptoms and chronic health challenges that have significantly affected my ability to work consistent, reliable hours. I continue doing what I can within my physical limitations, but there are many days when my symptoms make working impossible.

I want to work. I want to provide for myself. I want my life back. And that is ultimately what this campaign is about. I’m fighting for answers. I’m actively working with my medical team and undergoing specialist appointments, imaging, procedures, testing and continued investigation into both the cause of my symptoms and treatments that might improve them.

At the same time, I’m trying to protect the basic stability I’ve worked hard to build while doing what I can within my physical limitations. My Social Security Disability claim is also currently under review. The combination has taken a toll beyond my physical health. The constant pressure of being sick while trying to financially survive has brought periods of severe anxiety and depression, and moments when I felt genuinely overwhelmed, desperate and unsure how I was going to keep everything afloat. And this hasn’t happened in isolation. I’ve continued pushing forward while navigating other incredibly difficult seasons-including losing my mom, significant financial and legal challenges, and more. It’s been a lot to carry. I’m tired, but I’m still fighting.

What would your support actually do?

My greatest needs right now are centered around protecting the basic stability I’ve already worked hard to build:

• Help me remain in my home. I’m a homeowner, and assistance with my mortgage and related essential housing expenses would help me preserve my home while I focus on my health.

• Help me keep reliable transportation. I already own my vehicle and have only about $5,000 remaining on the loan. Keeping it current means protecting transportation I’m close to owning outright-and, most importantly, having a reliable way to get to medical appointments, testing, procedures and treatment.

• Keep essential utilities running while my ability to earn consistent income remains limited by my health.

• Give me breathing room to focus on getting well instead of continually pushing myself physically.

This isn’t about creating a more comfortable lifestyle or starting over. It’s about protecting the foundation I already have while I fight to get healthier.

Instead of constantly weighing my physical limitations against the need to earn enough money to keep everything afloat, assistance could allow me to put more of my limited energy toward medical appointments, testing, treatment, rest and recovery.

My goal is independence.

I don’t want this season to be permanent. My ultimate goal is to regain enough health and stability to work reliable hours again, provide for myself, serve others and participate more fully in the life and community I love.

This campaign is a bridge-not a destination.

While my Social Security Disability claim is being reviewed and I continue pursuing medical answers, your support can help protect the foundational things I need to keep moving forward: my home, essential utilities, reliable transportation and the stability to keep fighting for my health.

If you feel led to give, donations made to Help Hope Live in my honor can help with eligible medical and related expenses.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Help Hope Live is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and contributions are generally tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Donations made will then be dispersed via Help Hope Live rather than me, Tiffany, which also reduces my tax liability. Donations can be anonymous if you wish.

If giving financially isn’t possible, sharing this campaign amongst your friends/family/church etc. and praying for me are meaningful ways to help, too. I especially welcome prayers for answers, effective treatment, provision, endurance and healing. I don’t simply want to survive this chapter. I want to get healthier, regain my independence and return to a life where I can reliably work, provide for myself and give back again.

Thank you for helping me build that bridge, in any capacity you are able!

Many thanks,

Tiffany
