Emily's Dancer's Fracture Fund

Hello World, I'm Emily. 

I broke my foot a month ago and have been unable to continue my job running around caring for little kids. I am asking for financial support to help me cover rent and bills for three months while I focus on healing my foot and finding sedentary jobs to support my other needs. 

A bit about who I am.

A year and a half ago l was living alone and had a job that was smothering my soul. I realized one night at work that I had to quit and completely change how I lived my life. I was incredibly unhappy and deeply trapped in hidden self-loathing. I felt like I had no purpose and nothing to show for my 26 years of existence. I decided to sell everything, pack my car with the essentials, and start driving south. I was terrified. It was not at all in my nature to jump blindly off a cliff, but I did.  And then I fell in love. I fell in love with the Wild Earth.  And then I fell in love with myself.

Along this journey of self-love, I have gifted myself a new life of my choosing. I'm tearing down the old walls and rules that defined my existance and dictated my actions. I am setting boundaries and living with compassion for myself and others.  I feel deeply grateful and proud to be rebuilding my life and turning what I previously considered inherent character flaws and crushing weaknesses into the gifts I bring to this world.  

When I broke my foot, I knew it was an opportunity to delve deeper into myself and make friends with all my doubts and fears that prevent me from embracing the gifts I have to offer.  It's been emotionally rough to say the least, but I can now confidently pursue the gifts I'm here to give.

I am here to support young people in realizing, expressing, and embracing who they are and experiencing self worth and purpose from a place of being the creator and captain of their world. 

Thank you for hearing my story. 

By donating, you support me being able to live without fear of how I'm going to provide for my basic needs while also trying to heal my foot. By donating, you support me pursuing my own purpose and giving back to a world I am grateful to be a part of. 

Thank you for taking the time to hear me and support my ability to thrive! 

Deeply grateful,
Emily
