Hi! My name is Kiri. I am a single mom, off-grid homesteader, living in a funky cabin and a yurt in the hills of NorCal with my son, and there's a 150-foot-tall Douglas fir tree about to fall on my bedroom.

They say huge storms are coming in the Super El Niño, so I gotta get this tree down safely as soon as possible. Before the rains. ASAP.

My neighbor is a tree guy, and he says it's a $5,000 job. I work part time as a palliative care chaplain and don't have that kind of money.

I'm also a mythologist -- I'll trade you the story of how this tree comes down for any amount of support you can give me. I'll post updates here, and if you want to subscribe or follow me on Substack, you can receive longer form stories and essays: https://lovesickvalkyrie.substack.com/

Thank you so much for your help!
