Hi, I’m Ella. I’ve faced a lot in the past several years — managing CPTSD, ADHD, and Type 2 Diabetes, and navigating job loss and financial challenges. I’ve been working hard to rebuild my life, and now I’m asking for support to help me get to the next step.

In 2018, I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD (CPTSD). Since then, I’ve been learning how to manage my mental health, develop coping skills, and push forward despite setbacks. In 2021, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and ADHD, which added new challenges, but I’ve continued to work on staying healthy and functional.

Earlier this year, I lost my job and healthcare, which has made it difficult to keep up with living expenses. I’ve picked up freelance gigs and been approved for food assistance and Medicaid, but I’m still falling short on rent and essentials. This winter, I need a little help to stay housed, maintain my momentum toward independence, and continue to care for my two beloved cats, who are a vital part of my wellbeing.

I know that many people are confident at promoting themselves or their skills — for me, that doesn’t come naturally. With some financial stability, I can finally focus my energy on building skills, finding steady work, and creating a safe, sustainable life for myself and my cats.

My Goals

1. Access reliable physical and mental health supports.

2. Build a stable income through steady work.

3. Continue providing care, food, and safety for my two cats, who are my family.

This isn’t about charity — it’s about building a bridge to stability. Your support allows me to focus on what I can control while staying safe, healthy, and moving forward. Every donation or share is a vote of confidence in my ability to rebuild and thrive.

Thank you for believing in my potential and helping me take the next steps toward stability and independence.

❤️ Ella
