Stories & strategies for surviving the middle-class mess
Still here. Still fighting. Still laughing at the absurdity of it all.
I’m Amy. Cancer survivor. Debt dodger. Professional storyteller. And someone who knows what it’s like to be denied help because you’re “not poor enough” but crushed because you’re not rich enough either.
This site is my evidence file — the appeals, the breakdowns, the tiny wins that feel like miracles. I’m not here to play expert. I’m here to prove survival is possible — messy, ugly, hilarious survival.
If my fight feels like your fight, keep me fighting too.
