My name is Nyx, and I’m doing everything in my power to rebuild a life that fell apart faster than I could catch it. I’ve lost stability, I’ve lost my footing, and I’ve spent too many nights staring at the ceiling wondering how I’m going to climb out of this on my own. But even in the darkest moments, I’ve kept fighting — for my children, for a future with meaning, and for the version of myself who refuses to stay broken.

I am building something real.

Something healing.

Something that has the power to change my life and eventually help others too. I’m developing a brand, building a business, learning new skills, and working my butt off because I want to be self-sufficient again. I want to stand on my own two feet with no safety net — and I know I can.

But right now… I’m at the part of the story where the hero needs a hand.

Any support I receive is not a lifestyle. It’s not permanent. It’s not something I ever plan to depend on again. It’s a Band-Aid, a temporary bridge between where I am and the stable life I am building. Once I get there, I will handle my bills, my responsibilities, my future — not you. I am not going to ask for more help down the road. I am not trying to live off charity. I’m trying to survive long enough to outgrow the need for it.

I need help now because without it, I fear I won’t make it through this moment. Not emotionally — literally. If I lose my housing, if I lose this fragile footing I’m fighting so hard for, everything I’m building collapses.

But if I can keep a roof over my head…

If I can keep working on my brand and my website…

If I can make it through this final stretch…

I will be the one who becomes fully, fiercely self-sufficient again.

If you’re reading this, thank you.

If you choose to help, you’re not just donating — you’re helping me rebuild the life I’m fighting for. I owe $7000 in back rent, I owe $2000 to PGE, I need to spay and neuter my cats and get their shots and I have a surgery coming up that has a $1200 co-pay. As I received donations, I will post where the money goes, I’m an open book and I will answer any questions you have. You’re helping me stand back up. You’re helping me prove to my kids that even after everything we’ve lived through, we rise.

Your support means more than I can put into words.

Thank you for listening.

Thank you for caring.

Thank you for helping me keep going.
