<div>Rachel needs your help. Here is an update on Rachel and why she is  launching her non profit. 
</div>
<div>Help Rachel Ann and  help her launch her nonprofit so no one navigates a health crisis alone — because they don’t know how and can't afford it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rachel‘s health has taken another turn. Her greatest wish is to get her nonprofit up and running so that she can pay forward all of the help that she’s received from so many for so long now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In order for her to do this, she needs your help again. Help with maintaining her own bills, medical needs, support team, and everything else that comes with this wild journey that she’s been on for the last three years. Not to mention preparing for the what if. There are many expenses to consider when we lose a loved one. One of her greatest concerns is that things are in order so that her children and Todd wont be left struggling and dealing with too much fallout should there become an unexpected day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So here we are reaching out for help. Whatever you gift helps everyone tremendously. Just the simple ability to help support people to miss a day or two of work to stay with her so that she doesn’t have to do everything on her own makes a huge difference. Of course she’s who you’ve all known her to be, always strong and always trying and always doing what she can to continue living. We’re asking for some assistance with that at this point.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And if you choose to read deeper into this go fund me you’ll find that there is a networking system developed so that this becomes a means of connection and kindness on a scale that’s affordable for everyone which in return helps create something that is Rachel’s passion, which is to be able to pay all of your kindness forward to someone else who may be in Rachel’s shoes.
</div>
<div>This idea came from a connection made with a man named King and his Fully Human Movement.  People can be truly amazing! 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As always, we thank you for your support and your continued love, prayers and whatever it is that you offer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One last note and subtle wish or relief.
</div>
<div>We are requesting that if anybody knows of a quiet space for Rachel, Todd(her primary support) and Bella(her dog) to stay, with perhaps an occasional visit from family during this time it would relieve pressures of excessive housing costs, utilities, etc., and provide peace and calm . We are very open to discussing any options. Rachel prefers a simple life at this point, and rightfully so. Enjoying those around her that are dear to her, doing her best to enjoy life each moment at a time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The following information shares what Rachel has been developing in hopes of one day soon helping others in her situation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>THE STORY:</strong>
</div>
<div>She was on a train to Scotland when her body split open.
</div>
<div>She got on the plane anyway.
</div>
<div>That is not a metaphor. That is Rachel Ann.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past two years, Rachel has navigated five simultaneous thunderstorms — stage 3 breast cancer with a tumor the size of a large grapefruit , bankruptcy, medical abandonment, physical collapse to nearly 90 pounds, and a moment in an American hospital bed where she was handed opioids and told to go home to constant around the clock care. American doctors said the wound couldn't be closed. Said the surgery couldn't be done.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She flew last minute to Europe on maxed credit cards, barely conscious, and let European surgeons do what American medicine refused to attempt — a surgery that cut from her chest to her back, moved muscle, grafted skin, and gave her back her life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She didn't know if she would survive. And while she was still in that hospital bed in Europe , watching a mimosa tree through her window, the thought arrived:
</div>
<div>How do I pay this forward?
</div>
<div>Not if she survived, but while she was still in the storm.
</div>
<div><strong>That is when Goddess Tears was born</strong>.
</div>
<div>________________________________________
</div>
<div><strong>WHAT GODDESS TEARS DOES: </strong>
</div>
<div>Goddess Tears is a nonprofit built on one principle: no one navigates a health crisis alone because they can't afford to or don’t know how.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Financial Support</strong> — Supplements, integrative therapies, and healing sanctuaries. Right now Rachel's supplement protocol alone costs $1,500 per month. Insurance covers none of it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Resource Navigation</strong> — The medical system is a labyrinth. Goddess Tears maps the territory so patients know what questions to ask and what options exist beyond what they're told.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Advocacy</strong> — There is not one path. Goddess Tears shows people that allopathic medicine does have a role AND so does nutrition, energy healing, breathwork, nature, ceremony, and faith in yourself- just to name a few.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Community</strong> — Because isolation is not just lonely. It is physically dangerous. The body keeps score of disconnection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Rachel said it this way: </strong>
</div>
<div><em>"If I could touch someone who is struggling — by just helping them financially get to a space where they can become open — that's a success for me. That's a success for them. That's a success for the world."</em>
</div>
<div>________________________________________
</div>
<div><strong>WHY NOW:</strong>
</div>
<div>Rachel is still in the storm. She is still fighting. And she wants Goddess Tears launched and funded while she is here to see it — because this nonprofit is her legacy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>It's Her Medicine.</strong>
</div>
<div>"That's what's kept me alive. Giving. Reciprocity. Paying it forward. Not because it's noble — because it is my medicine."
</div>
<div>________________________________________
</div>
<div><strong>THE ASK — THE $99 TRIAD:</strong>
</div>
<div>We are not asking for a large donation from a few people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We are asking for $33 from 1,000 people — each of whom finds two others. The first $33,000 will go to supporting Rachel. The rest will go to launching and establishing goddess Tears.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The idea is that one person agrees to give $33 then has 2 others who also have 2 others. Creating triads of giving, small tribes if you will. This creates a chain of connection based on love and kindness rather than based on only $.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is not charity. This is a tribe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"We are a chain, we are linked together indivisibly. I can't be who I ought to be unless you can be who you ought to be."
</div>
<div>— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The $33 is not the gift. The connection is the gift. The money is the energy exchange that makes the connection real.
</div>
<div><strong>Will you be one of the first 10 Anchor Leaders?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>FUNDS WILL BE USED FOR:</strong>
</div>
<div>• Nonprofit filing and legal structure for Goddess Tears 501(c)(3)
</div>
<div>• Rachel's ongoing medical protocol ($1,500/month in supplements, etc. )
</div>
<div>• Website and infrastructure for Goddess Tears launch
</div>
<div>• First round of financial support for other patients in crisis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your time and consideration. And of course your love prayers and support in any way you can or have.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Rachel’s dear friend always said to her
</div>
<div>”May love have it’s way with you” -Sao Long
</div>
<div>And her reply to him was ”Always and All Ways”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you
</div>
<div>Rachel’s family.
