I have a difficult time writing about myself, but I'm going to try.

I'm a public servant, running a nonprofit that supports rural, marginalized Vermonters as they navigate traumas. I've been doing this work for the past 8 years and had 2 more to go for my student education loans to be forgiven. The current government has decided that my service doesn't count because of the people we care for (queer, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, people living in poverty, families, youth, seniors, etc).

I have never missed a single payment.

The monthly payments are holding me back from being able to support myself and thrive.

It's my 37th Birthday on September 12th.

I really appreciate the support.
