My name is Bailey Ronan, and my life has been filled with challenges that have tested me in ways I never expected. I’ve faced homelessness, nights spent without a safe place to go, and health struggles including diverticulitis and internal bleeding that have brought me to hospitals more times than I can count. On top of that, I’ve had difficult encounters with both law enforcement and medical professionals, where I wasn’t always given the care or protection I needed.Even with all of this, I keep pushing forward. I fight every day for stability—whether it’s finding a safe place to live, advocating for my rights, or seeking the medical care I deserve. My journey hasn’t been easy, but I’ve learned resilience, patience, and the strength to keep going even when the odds are against me.I am not defined only by what I’ve been through. I am strong, determined, and still hopeful. I continue to fight for a better life, and I know that everything I’ve survived has made me into someone who won’t give up.
