Hello. My name is Emory, I’m 30 years old and in a bit of a money crisis due to having an 8-month-old baby and not working since the pregnancy began. I now (very recently) have obtained a remote job that requires being licensed through the state of Washington and a test is required but not yet taken. I have used the last of my money to pay for my course and Hendrix formula, which was expensive but worth it. I hope to get to work eventually, but right now the most important thing is getting myself happy healthy, and back to the best mom I can . Besides that, all credit/debit cards are being turned off and I have no say in the matter. I was receiving cash aid during my pregnancy, but my partner made too much money. Therefore they cut me off of food, benefits, and cash for gas…

I need help with gas money! That is all… nothing more, and with that, I’ll be cruising 70 mph all the way from the Canadian border to home.

I will be attending all the food banks I can along the way. I’ll be looking in every way possible to see possible vouchers for gas, food, etc.

With the current DV/harassment charges against my partner, I have no way to contact him asking for help with $ or cards…. no contact per the state for at least 90 days was put on my partner and I. Things have been stressful and insane, to say the least. I need to get away and don’t have enough gas to do so. I have to do this for my sanity and my sweet angel boy. My 8-month-old boy Hendrix Ryan, who is my everything in this life. Lately, life has been… hard. Lots of unexpected situations all leading my heart back home for a much-needed self-reflecting journey. (Not a vacation), a total shift in everything permanent, but it must happen! My road to recovery is right there waiting and it’s needed more than ever. Flights are ridiculously priced and (in my opinion) a waste of money in comparison to driving and getting more and more inspired by the beauty our world has to offer. Leaving behind the gloomy rain here in Ferndale, for a short 30 days to get myself back wouldn’t be possible without help from you all.

I am traveling home to California for a 30-day reset in my hometown. I’ll be staying in Orange County, working on myself and hopefully gaining enough confidence to start to sell my artwork that is ready to be sold, along with making new pieces I come up with or commissions people want.

I have a huge fear of failure, and if I were to just sit down and actually sell some of my work, I could actually afford to get there and back on my own. THE GOAL is to get to California with your help and utilize the time on the road to get re-inspired enough to sell my art and make/start new pieces while I’m traveling.

Gas is expensive and it’s all I need, therefore ANYTHING HELPS! $1, $5, $10, $20.

I don’t want a lot of questions about my personal life coming out of this, but feel free to reach out to me if you must know things. My head is all over the place and this trip will really help my soul, my connection with my son, and my confidence in doing something 100% for myself. Mommastyle.

Please be patient with me in response time and if anyone wants a piece of art made personally for them or someone close to them, I would be grateful to do so!

Where I’ll be staying is a safe, beautiful home full of strong women, who are supportive, like-minded, and possibly going through some of the same struggles.

Please take everything said into consideration and help me get home!
