PROJECT: HELP ME BUILD A CENTER FOR ART & NATURE

★ Goal: $100,000

★ Where Your Money Goes: Directly to the renovations of Saint James Church, marketing & community outreach, cost of operations

★ About: After being laid off at the end of June 2025 without notice or severance, I decided to dream big. Instead of hopping into another fruitless marketing job, I pursued the opportunity to turn a vacant church into a community center for art & nature.

★ Your support helps me and my two daughters build a stronger community.

Hey Fam! I’m Whitney, mother to Peyton Éibhleann & Callie Joy. (Éibhleann: radiance // Joy: joy)

When I got sober in 2019, I was told that if I wanted to change my life, I only had to change everything about myself. I didn’t just believe I could do it, I knew it to be true. And on my worst days, when I couldn’t summon that truth, others let me borrow theirs. By the grace of the universe and the people who stuck by my side, I dismantled and rebuilt my world. Today, I lead a purposeful life of clarity and service, ever-inspired by Radiance and Joy. It is my mission to practice this gratitude in every facet of life, supporting one mother at a time, one day at a time.
