My name is Cynthia, and I’m running this fundraiser for Audie, my friend of more than 15 years.

Audie has spent the last five years fighting a disabling migraine condition — sometimes up to 72 migraines in three months — while also managing diabetes and ongoing joint issues. She has done everything she can: consulted multiple specialists, tried more than 44 medication combinations. Nothing has helped consistently, which means steady work has been nearly impossible for her throughout.

In addition, every system that was supposed to catch her has said no:

While she earns some income through occasional pet sitting, it’s not enough. October 2026 is when she will no longer be able to afford her current housing.

The Plan

Audie is working toward a specific solution: a quality used travel trailer or RV, parked on a leased lot or friendly private land in the Pacific Northwest. It’s realistic, it’s achievable, and it keeps her three cats — Harley, Ducati, and Benelli — with her. They are her family and her emotional support animals.

What she needs is your help to get there:

2. Help in Person (Pacific Northwest)

Audie is working through a short list of RVs and parking options to visit in June and July. She needs people willing to drive her to look at options across Western Washington. If you're local and able to help with transportation, please DM @audiemaven or email help4audie at her gmail account.

Thank you for sticking to these specific asks. Audie is not looking for unsolicited medical or financial advice. More detail available for anyone ready to help with specifics.

Thank you for supporting Audie. Thank you for caring. And thank you for being part of her community.

With gratitude, Cynthia — for Audie and the cats
