A Once-in-a-Lifetime Art Residency for a Resilient Mom & Son

Hi, I’m Haley, an artist, single mom, Army veteran, and student!

Life has handed me more than a few challenges.. from growing up in an abusive/poor environment and being homeless in high school, to serving as a medic in the military, to raising my incredible son on my own.

I was recently accepted into a once-in-a-lifetime sculpture residency in Spain! An incredible opportunity to deepen my artistic and spiritual work in an international setting. Even more beautiful: they’ve allowed me to bring my son along!

As a single mother who receives no financial support from his father, this trip is both a dream and a challenge. I’m reaching out for help covering the travel and basic living expenses so that I can fully show up for this experience, not just for myself, but to model what it means to follow your purpose, even when it feels uncertain.

Your support will go directly toward:

• Travel for me and my son

• Basic living costs during the residency

• Materials or supplies I may need to complete the work

This isn’t just about art…it’s about healing, growth, connection/community and showing my son that creating a meaningful life is possible when you stay aligned with your purpose.

I’m deeply grateful for any amount you feel called to give, even if it’s only $1!

Thank you for believing in me
