Donate to Kari's Healing and Stability Fund

My name is Kari, and I’m 41 years old. In August 2023, I was laid off from my longtime job and remained unemployed until March 2024. By then, I had already maxed out my credit cards and emptied my 401(k), which devastated my credit score. The new job I found paid less than my previous one, making it difficult to stay afloat.

Then, on January 13, 2025, I had a breakdown. I’ve struggled with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and suicidal thoughts for most of my life. This time, I knew I had to step away from work and seek help before it was too late. Thankfully, I found an amazing program and am now doing the hard work to heal and save my life.

However, I’ll be off work for a while, and I’m struggling to get my short-term disability approved. Even if I do, it won’t be enough to cover my bills, and I’m genuinely afraid of losing my home.

I’m reaching out to ask for any help you can give so I can focus on my recovery without the added stress of financial hardship.

Thank you so much for your support—it truly means the world to me.
