I’m asking for your help as I embark upon massage therapy school to develop the skills to support my children and help others. As many of my friends know, I survived a traumatic brain injury in 2011, with several concussions in years that followed. I am feeling great again, with lots of energy, but my doctors say I should not return to be a teacher in K-12 education. I have a new set of strengths and limitations. While I am now tutoring students, that’s not enough to pay all the bills.
Drawn to work in health and healing, I’ve dreamed of going into massage therapy since I was 15! I have even applied several times in recent years, and have been accepted. My doctors now fully support this move. Unfortunately, my budget won’t cover school and living expenses for my children, even though I plan to work part time as I am able.
It will take me thirteen to eighteen months to finish, starting in March. To participate, I need to raise $2000 quite soon, and at least $10,000 more by September. There are no student loan options, and I already have a partial scholarship which I will be working towards with hundreds of work exchange hours of clinical service in the last months of school and beyond.
If you are able to help support my family in this new endeavor, we would be very grateful. I’d love to offer you help in return - a delivered meal, honey sticks or essential oils, tutoring, babysitting, photography services, maybe even teaching a class. I wish I could offer massages, but I need to wait until after I finish school and am licensed. Free natural healing consultation for any donor of any amount!
That’s the dream! I’m so grateful and relieved to have the opportunity to pursue my passion to work in a healing profession and better support my family again - while also continuing to recover. Thank you so much for helping me get there.
ANY amount makes a big difference. No donation is too small - all size donations appreciated !
- $5, $20, $60, $100, $300... all deeply appreciated! For example, if enough donated $15, and $60 ... that would be plenty to help us be on our way!!
- Checks also accepted for those who prefer this. Contact me at [phone redacted] or [email redacted] for mailing address please.
Thank you for sharing and your help!
