Help Lynae start her life again

Donation protected
My family was separated at a young age because my Mom had a severe bipolar manic episode. While I was able to go live with my Dad (we have different Dads), Lynae ended up in foster care. She was abused while in care and had many sad and horrible things done to her as a child. She grew up believing no one wanted her and that she was a burden. Her sadness has been masked over the years by many substances but she unfortunately tried Fentanyl and became deathly addicted.  We have all tried our best to help her in the last few years but it is almost impossible to fix this cycle without going to treatment so Lynae ended up leaving us and going to live on the Downtown east side a year ago She has been missing without any contact and living homeless on the street for the last year and I honestly had pretty much given up hope of finding her.
3 weeks ago, I wrote a post on instagram asking people to pray for Lynae and to send her positive energy. Turns out that prayer works and she was found a week and a half ago and has agreed to try to get clean.  She is safe at a friends house who she’s known since she was in foster care as a child and has been very supported in her next steps to get on a doctor supervised addiction treatment program Lynae has been going every day for treatment for the last week and a half and is showing amazing signs of recovery but this is only the first step to healing from her addiction. This whole process is extremely expensive and a friend suggested that I start a go fund me page to raise money to help Lynae fund her treatment and start her life again.  I am not someone to ask people for money but I believe that as a community we can help our less fortunate.  Hopefully you guys resonate with Lynae’s story and can find it in your heart to help us. Miracles happen everyday and I am hoping for Lynae that we can find her one.
