New Year Update – Still Fighting, Still Healing
As we enter 2026, I wish I could say things are back to normal—but I’m still in the middle of a long, painful recovery.
After the road rage attack that changed my life, I continue to deal with daily pain, limited sleep, and frequent doctor and specialist appointments. Recovery has been much slower and more difficult than I ever imagined. Some nights I barely sleep because of the pain, and many days are spent going back and forth to medical visits just trying to heal and regain stability.
I’m doing everything I can, but the reality is that I’m still struggling—physically, mentally, and financially. Medical bills and basic living expenses continue to pile up while I focus on recovery instead of working.
If you’ve already donated or shared my fundraiser, please know how grateful I am. Your kindness has truly kept me going. If you’re able to help again—whether through a one-time donation, a monthly contribution, or simply sharing my story—it would mean more than I can put into words.
Community support is what’s helping me survive this chapter, and I’m deeply thankful to everyone who stands with me. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you’re able to give.
