Dear Unsealers,

I wanted to share something I couldn’t believe happened to me today after struggling for a while without my supplies and my medicine. I was finally able to get out and pick up some supplies, thanks to two special people in my life. I am truly grateful, even though they both can’t handle the humidity like I do. They understood how badly I needed it, and it was a magical moment for me; I still have people who care.

Additionally, I experienced another magical moment that truly topped the prize today. After two years of fighting, struggling, and not wanting to play Smash back and forth, I was finally able to get another phone, thanks to my partner’s idea, my benefit program, and my family for helping me through the process. There was a time when I was able to pay for a phone and cover the card or the bill every month. However, during those two years, I fell into some rough times and had to rely on a lifeline benefit program to stay in touch with people and my medical doctors.

For a while, I didn’t know if it was my software going bad or just the phone aging. It kept freezing and crashing. After collecting enough points on one of my accounts, I was able to pay for a temporary backup phone and then get rid of the other one. Well, boy was I wrong! After a year, for some reason, it started to have the same issues again. Initially, I thought it might be because my storage was too full, the games I was playing, or that people I didn’t know were trying to mess with it without my knowledge. Unfortunately, it only got worse, and lately, I was starting to lose patience with my backup too.

Then, my partner came up with the idea to find another phone so I could say adieu to this one and start over. At first, I thought I wouldn’t be able to, but after I found some help from my family and my medical benefits, I was happy they were willing to assist. The more magic that made this feel real was that initially, I was nervous after filling out and submitting all my information. I didn’t think I would get approved.

However, after I had a fun day with my relatives and my animals, I got home and checked my messages. It turns out one of my struggles finally got resolved. I’m now able to start over with a better phone that I hope will last me a lifetime. I’m so happy that even though the process isn’t fun, I know I still have a safety net in my back pocket in case things don’t work out.
