From Layoff to Launch: Support Wendy's Leap

Hi, my name is Wendy, and I’m asking for your support during a critical and courageous transition in my life.

At the end of 2024, I was laid off from my full-time corporate position. While I’ve continued applying for jobs, most employers have kept me in the “under review” status despite my strong experience. Rather than let this uncertainty define me, I decided to bet on myself and take control of my future, and with passion and purpose, I’ve started two businesses:

1) A professional services business doing the operations and administrative support I mastered in Corporate America, and

2) A health and wellness business rooted in my lifelong passion for holistic healing, self-care, and helping others thrive.

This has been the most challenging yet empowering leap of faith in my life. For the first time, I’m creating wealth and stability on my own terms, but I need help to stay afloat as I build.

I’m seeking $20,000 to help cover essential living and business startup costs. This support would give me the breathing room to focus fully on building client relationships, creating impact, and getting my ventures off the ground without being buried under the weight of past-due bills or financial fear.

How the Funds Will Be Used:

Housing & Utilities (4–6 months): $6,000

Business Software & Tools (6–12 months): $2,000

Website, Branding, & Marketing Materials: $2,500

Back Bills & Debt Catch-Up: $3,000

Supplies & Start-Up Costs (Wellness biz): $3,500

Emergency Fund / Basic Living Buffer: $3,000

TOTAL: $20,000

This isn’t just about survival; it's about building something real and sustainable. I’ve put in the time, the effort, and the work. I’m not waiting on a handout; I’m actively building something that can support me long-term, while serving clients and communities I care about. But I can't do it completely alone. Your donation, no matter the size, will directly help me to stay stable and housed, serve more clients, grow my reputation, and continue offering wellness and healing resources, and administrative support to those in need.

This journey is about faith, resilience, and rebuilding. I truly believe the universe opened this door so I could pursue purpose, not just a paycheck, and I’m asking you to walk with me as I continue forward.

Here's how you can help:

1) Donate: Every dollar is deeply appreciated.

2) Share: Spread the word on social media, email, or text.

3) Encourage: Leave a supportive message or testimonial if you’ve worked with me.

Thank you for reading, supporting, and believing.

With deepest gratitude,

-Wendy
