A Life on the Line — Why This Move Isn’t Just a Move

I never imagined I’d be writing a plea like this. But today, I’m reaching out with desperation, hope, and faith that kind strangers and friends will stand with me when my life depends on it.
My name is Amy, and my son Nathan and I are facing a crisis that demands swift action.
What’s happening: medical danger, loss of insurance, and a home at risk
On June 1st, I lost my medical and dental insurance. There’s no easy way to restart coverage without triggering a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). Meanwhile, I’m dealing with serious health conditions:
Because of all this, our current home is at risk of foreclosure or loss. We’ve been fighting to keep it since 2016. GoFundMe
We have a safe home waiting for us in Missouri, plus reliable income and opportunities there — but we must move by November 1st to start receiving lifesaving care and to preserve what we’ve worked so hard to hold onto. GoFundMe
If we don’t make it, the consequences are devastating: loss of health, loss of home, and an uncertain future for both me and Nathan.
Why Nathan’s future is on the line too
This move isn’t just for me — it’s for Nathan, who’s 27 and ready to step into his own life. In Missouri, he’ll find job training, opportunities, and a more stable foundation to build from. GoFundMe
I believe this transition can give him a fresh start — and if we don’t get the support we need now, that hope could slip away.
How much we need — and how we’ll use it
We’re asking for $6,695 — not just for a move, but for survival. GoFundMe
Here’s the breakdown:
Item | Amount | Purpose |
Fuel, hotels, and care for our two pets | $3,000 | For the long drive and safe stops along the way GoFundMe |
Food, nutrition & essentials | $3,000 | To keep us fed and healthy while I recover from surgeries GoFundMe |
Immediate housing & home setup | $695 | Beds, bedding, and safe living essentials GoFundMe |
Once we arrive, we’ll share updates on medical and dental treatment as we move forward. Transparency is important — you deserve to see how your support is saving lives, not just dollar signs.
Why your help matters now
This isn’t just a moving fund — it’s a life-saving fund.
Every dollar brings me closer to the care I need to fight infection and stabilize my diabetes.
It gives Nathan the chance to step into his own life, with stability and opportunity.
It helps us avoid losing our home — a place we’ve fought for since 2016.
It bridges the gap during our most vulnerable months.
What you can do to help
Donate — even $5, $20, or $50 makes a difference. Your gift is life-giving.
Share — post this on social media. Send it to friends, family, your network. Some people change the world by sharing.
Pray or send encouragement — emotional support carries weight too.
Follow updates — I’ll be posting progress regularly to show how this all comes together.

In closing
I wouldn’t ask if the need weren’t dire. This isn’t a small financial challenge — this is everything we’re fighting for: health, life, stability, dignity.
If you’re able to help, please do. If you can’t financially, a share or a prayer means more than you know.
From the depths of my heart — thank you for considering, for caring, and for believing in our second chance.
With hope and gratitude,
Amy & Nathan
