Help Austin Heal: A Fund for Care and Stability
Donation protected
This past March, our dear friend Austin was diagnosed with a chronic, incurable neurological disorder. It’s the kind of thing that shifts your entire life and requires long-term care, support and more than anything, time. We have spent the last few weeks wrapping our head about the impact this will have on her life.
If you know Austin, you know what a light she is. A singer, an artist, a devoted community builder—she has spent years pouring into others, creating beauty through sound and space for people to feel like they belong.
Now, it’s our turn to show up for her.
She recently relocated from Los Angeles to North Carolina to be closer to care and community and she’s currently unable to work. This fund helps her get rooted in this new chapter—with dignity and stability.
Your contribution will go directly toward:
- Ongoing care and treatments / therapies
- Monthly expenses while she focuses on healing
- Giving her time—without the financial pressure
Other ways to support (if giving financially isn’t possible right now):
- Referrals to non-Western care practitioners in North Carolina (acupuncture, herbalists, somatic bodyworkers, Black or BIPOC healers)
- Introductions to people in the NC area—artists, healers, or simply kind folks she might connect with
- Information on medical/care grants we can apply to on her behalf
- Sharing this fundraiser with your community
If you have something specific to offer or want to check in about what’s most helpful, feel free to reach out directly.
Thank you for your help in taking care of our girl.
