Support Madi’s Healing Move Back to Massachusetts

Help Madi Return Home & Rebuild After Trauma

Hi, I’m Madi.

In 2024, I experienced a life-changing sexual assault and physical assault at the hands of someone I trusted while living in Vermont. That moment shattered the foundation of my world—and since then, I’ve been slowly, bravely rebuilding. Emotionally. Physically. Spiritually. I’m healing from trauma while living with a disability and recovering from long-term survival mode.

This is the most grounded I’ve ever been, and I’ve never had more clarity.

What I want now is simple and sacred:
To return home to Massachusetts.
To rebuild my life with care, intention, and accountability.
To reconnect with the support, love, and healing environment that’s been calling me back.

But I need help getting there.

I’ve already done the hardest parts—facing the pain, asking for help, and reclaiming my heart. Now I’m asking for support with the practical steps: gas, housing, groceries, and health-related costs as I make the move and rebuild from the ground up. I’m actively looking for work (interviews, referrals, remote gigs), and planning this move in the coming months with everything I’ve got.

I’m not asking for a handout—I’m asking for a bridge.
A way to cross into the next chapter of my life with stability and hope.

Whether you can give $5, $50, or simply share this with someone who can help, I’m deeply grateful.

Your support isn’t just helping me move.
You’re helping me come home—to myself, to healing, to the life I know I’m meant to live.

With love,
Madi
