Hi, my name is Juliana Bugatti, and this isn’t easy for me to write — asking for help never is. But life has brought me to a place where I have to lean on the kindness of others as I try to rebuild.
Earlier this year, I lost my job. On top of that, I’ve been struggling with both mental and physical health challenges that finally became too heavy to carry alone. I made the difficult but necessary decision to enter a three-month rehab program — something I knew I needed in order to survive and start healing.
Rehab gave me tools, clarity, and a second chance at life. But while I was working hard on myself, the world outside didn’t stop. Bills piled up. Rent fell behind. I left treatment with a clearer mind, but also with the weight of financial stress pressing down hard.
I’m currently doing everything I can to find steady work and stay on top of my recovery — but I’ve fallen behind, and I’m scared of losing the stability I’ve fought so hard for.
That’s why I’ve created this fundraiser. I’m asking for help covering essential living costs — rent, utilities, medical expenses — while I continue to heal and get back on my feet. Every dollar makes a difference, and every share helps me reach someone who might be able to give.
Thank you for reading this, for caring, and for reminding me that I don’t have to do this alone. Recovery is hard — but with support, it’s possible. I’m proof of that.
With gratitude,
Juliana Bugatti
