Update from Brady:

I don’t usually write things like this, but I wanted to share what it’s been like for me watching my mom go through everything.

Leaving was one of the hardest things and best things she’s ever done and I know she did it for both of us. I saw how much strength it took. She’s been through more difficult things than anyone should ever have to, and even when she was struggling, she still made sure I was okay. She always made sure all five of us had everything we needed even if it meant losing things for herself.

She’s the best mom I could ever ask for. She supports me, pushes me to do my best, and always puts me first — even when she didn’t have anything left to give.

I don’t want to see her go through any more pain. She deserves to be safe and happy. She deserves help getting through this.

Hey all! My amazing friend Christina is navigating the early stages of a painful and complex divorce. After enduring a difficult situation for far too long, she made the incredibly hard decision to leave—abruptly, and for the well-being of herself, her teenage son Brady, and their two dogs. That choice, though an absolute necessity, has come with emotional and financial strain.

She’s working full time, holding steady for Brady, and caring for their dogs—all while shouldering the weight of legal fees, housing challenges, and the uncertainty of what’s ahead.

For those who know the background of the situation and all that has been endured, you understand the strength it has taken to reach this point. This fundraiser will help ease the burden of:

• Securing necessary legal protection given the circumstances

• Covering housing and basic living expenses during this difficult chapter

• Providing continued stability and care for her son and their dogs

Any amount helps lighten the load. Your support gives Christina the breathing room to focus on rebuilding with clarity, stability, and peace of mind.

Note: This fundraiser is here to support Christina as she works to rebuild a safe and stable life for herself, her son Brady, and their two dogs. Every contribution goes directly toward her legal support, housing needs, and ongoing care for her family. Funds will be kept in a separate account and used solely for these personal needs. Your support means the world during this deeply challenging time.

Thank you for standing with her.
