Hi everyone,

Well... here we are. I'm setting this up for my daughter Brie Carpenter, who is having back surgery on the 17th. After months of constant pain and trying to "push through it" (because that's just who she is), it's time to fix it properly.

After surgery, she'll be down for what could be up to three months - which means no working and no paycheck while she focuses on healing.

She's a mom of two and someone who genuinely loves helping and being there for others. She's usually the one showing up, giving support, and taking care of the people around her — not the one needing help herself. While her boyfriend, Elijah, has been absolutely amazing and stepping up in every way, I wanted to create this so all the financial pressure doesn't fall completely on him during this time.

If you know my daughter, you know asking for help is not easy for her. So I'm stepping in and doing the asking on her behalf.

Funds raised will go toward:

• Her portion of rent and household bills

• Groceries and everyday needs for the kids

• Medical and recovery expenses

• Lost income while she focuses on healing

The goal is get her through surgery, through recovery, and back to living life without constant pain.

If you're able to donate, share, or just send prayers and good vibes, we are beyond grateful. Thank you for loving and supporting her during this time - it truly means more than you know.
