"Try(ing) My Hardest" A TimeLine Testimony of Pain, Perseverance And Purpose (PB) (2026)

This isn't just a story about a sick child, a struggling mother, or a broken healthcare system. This is a Timeline Testimony; a raw,

unfiltered, unflinching account of what it means to keep living, loving, and pushing forward when life keeps knocking you down.

In these pages, you'll meet Makayla, a Mighty Warrior in a little girl's body. You'll witness the unpredictability of chronic

illness, the exhaustion of caregiving, and the emotional toll of raising a medically complex child while your own health collapses in

the background. You'll feel the heartbreak of being dismissed by doctors, the rage of being unheard, and the mental gymnastics of

holding a family together while unraveling inside.

But more than that, you'll find proof that survival is possible even when it's messy, painful, and far from perfect.

If you've ever asked:

"Why does everything feel so heavy?"

"Will it ever get better?"

"How do I keep going when it all feels too much?"

This book is for you.

If you know someone facing unprecedented obstacles in their life, this book is for them:

For every mother who's juggled grief and groceries.

Every woman who's poured from an empty cup.

Every partner, parent, or caregiver who's ever felt invisible

while doing the impossible.

Every person who's still standing after being told they'd

never make it.

You'll cry, you'll clench your teeth, you'll breathe a little deeper and maybe, just maybe, you'll see your own strength reflected in

these pages and find connection.
