Right now, I’m staying in a women’s shelter while I work to rebuild my life from the ground up.

Over the past while, my circumstances changed quickly and unexpectedly, and I found myself having to leave with very little and start over. I’m safe, I’m taking steps forward, and I’m doing everything I can to regain stability — but starting from nothing is overwhelming.

I’m raising funds to help cover the basic costs of restarting my life, including:

• Securing stable housing

• First and last month’s rent

• Basic living essentials

• Transportation

• Therapy and mental health support

• Rebuilding day-to-day stability while I work toward independence

I’m actively working with support services and doing my best to move forward, but the gap between where I am and where I need to be is more than I can manage alone right now.

If you’re able to donate, please know that your support will go directly toward helping me regain stability and move out of crisis mode. If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser means just as much.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping me take this next step forward.
