My name is Jillian, and over the past year, I've dedicated myself to studying and practicing astrology while building a wonderful community and client base. This journey has been both challenging and rewarding, and it's helped me grow in ways I never imagined. Now, I have the opportunity to attend NORWAC—a major astrology conference in Seattle that brings together some of the best minds in the field—to learn, connect with my peers, and hopefully make new friends and collaborators.

This chance means so much to me, especially after the incredibly difficult times I've faced in recent years. In spite of navigating intense personal and financial challenges, I've managed to put myself through years art, philosophical, tarot and astrological education—all by pure passion and grit—and also build art and esoteric practices that are growing and evolving everyday. Receiving a scholarship from the WSAA to cover a large portion of the conference fees was a huge step forward, but I still need help with the remaining costs and travel expenses, including transit, lodging, and meals.

This conference falls just after my 40th birthday—a milestone I once feared I might spend homeless. Instead, I now have the chance to travel to a city I've always wanted to visit and to immerse myself in a community that inspires me. Being able to attend with the support of my community would be an incredible gift, enriching my practice and my life in so many ways. I am deeply grateful for any help you can offer, and your support would mean the world to me.
