Hi friends,

I don’t love asking for help, but right now I really need to lean on my community. A series of financial hits have stacked up at once—my car repair is $4,000, and I’ve just learned I will be losing benefits my family depends on for monthly support and health coverage.

On top of this, I’ve been navigating a divorce and child support that has been slow and inconsistent. As well as figuring out independent care for Jasper.

I’m working as hard as I can, and I’m also putting energy into starting a new business so that I can build stability for myself and the kids long-term. But in this moment, things are heavier than I can carry on my own.

If you’re able to contribute, even a small amount will go directly toward keeping my car running, my kids covered, and food on the table. I know things are rough out there for all of us. And if all you can do is share this, that means so much!

I know many of you have already shown up for me and I appreciate it more than you know.

Thank you for helping us through this rough patch.

Melody, Jasper, and Lula
