Support Natalie’s Solo Recovery Journey

I Broke My Ankle and I’m Scared I Can’t Make It On My Own

Hey everyone,

I never thought I’d be making one of these, but here I am.

Yesterday I broke my ankle at a show, and everything in my life flipped overnight. I’m 19 years old, living completely on my own, working full-time just to stay afloat — paying rent, bills, groceries — all by myself. My parents are going through a rough divorce, so I don’t have any family financial support right now. It’s just me.

And now I can’t work. I can’t walk. I have no one to fall back on, no one to help cover rent or bills while I’m stuck in this cast for weeks.

I’ve always prided myself on being independent, on figuring life out on my own — but right now, I can’t. I need help. I hate even asking, but I don’t know what else to do.

If you can donate anything, even a dollar, it would mean everything. Every cent will go toward my rent, food, and bills while I heal and fight to get back on my feet — literally.

Thank you for reading this. Thank you for caring. It means more than you know.

— Natalie
