Hi there!

My name is Katy, as many of you know me, and I find myself in the painful process of separation from my husband of 4 years.

Because my life has been so enmeshed with my husbands for so many years, having to start over and make my way alone is a task that seems extremely daunting and is going to be one of the hardest and scariest things I've ever done.

I've been unable to work full-time recently due to some health concerns that have taken quite a bit of time to get under control so I find myself without a whole lot of savings financially which is why I'm here asking for help.

This transition is proving to be extremely difficult for me, both mentally and physically. Separation and divorce was never something that I could have imagined being my reality but it's here and I am doing my best to cope. I want to be able to start my life without a partner in a good place and that takes feeling secure in knowing my bills will be paid, there will be food on my table, and gas in my car.

Thanks to a very dear friend, I've got a place to live for now. While there, I need funds for groceries, gas in my car to get to and from various jobs and rehearsals, medications that are a necessity for my health, and to help my friend with bills/rent. Eventually, I'd love to be able to have enough funds put away to find my own place.

If you're able to help, even if it's just sharing this, it would be so appreciated. I don't ask for help from others often but I know that I cannot possibly face this alone so here I am.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for any and all love and support you can provide and send my way. Here's to a fresh start!

<3 Katy
