Help Me Start A New Life In Arizona

It’s your girl Lorraine AKA Rain La Curandera Moderna and I’m asking for your support to help me and my children relocate from NYC to Arizona so I can finally start a new life. One rooted in healing, dignity, and sustainability.

For years, I did what I had to do to survive. I was raising five kids on my own with nothing but public benefits and no real support. Cold and flu season meant job loss after job loss because when my kids got sick there was no one else to call to pick them up, or care for them but me. Eventually, sex work became the only thing that allowed me to make enough money while being flexible enough to raise my kids. It was never what I wanted to do, but it was what I had to do.

I’ve been street homeless. I’ve been in shelters. I’ve had encounters with ACS. I’ve lost my children and fought to get them back. But through all of it I never gave up.

Even when I was at my lowest, I stayed committed to my healing. I always felt a duty to help others heal too . I began walking a spiritual path, not as an escape, but as a return to myself. I’m doing the work to be a better me. I thought initiation would “fix” everything, but what it really did was crack me open and give me the tools to rebuild from the root. I realized I didn’t want to numb myself with alcohol anymore. I didn’t want to pretend to want sex all day just to survive. I didn’t want to live on edge anymore not in this body, not in this city, not with this new consciousness.

This past year has been one of the hardest of my life. I’ve struggled to keep a roof over our heads, feed my kids, and grow the business I know is my purpose. I’ve blamed my ex, my godfather, my ancestors ……. but during this last full moon, I received a clear download

NYC is no longer working for me.

This city has become a prison of memories DV, homelessness, survival mode, grief, and exhaustion. The energy here is heavy. I’ve outgrown it. My creativity is frozen. Opportunities feel blocked. The moment I considered leaving, I felt a flicker of hope again.

Arizona makes sense. My daughter is there. My chosen family is there. The weather is better for my body and spirit. It’s time to begin again somewhere new, somewhere softer.

I’m raising $20,000 to:

• Relocate to Arizona and purchase flights for me and my children

• Purchase a used car so I can work and take care of my family

• Cover rent and utilities for 3 months while I secure stable income

• Furnish our new home with beds, kitchen supplies, and basic furniture

• Rebuild our life from a place of dignity and possibility

I want to show other women that it’s never too late to choose yourself and start over. That when you do the universe supports you. I want to break that generational cycle of survival being tied to the men you have children with or decide to give your body to. This isn’t just about moving, it’s about making a break from survival and choosing wholeness. Choosing peace for myself and for my children.

How You Can Help:

Even $5 makes a difference. If you can’t donate, sharing this GoFundMe with your friends, family, or social media helps more than you know. Booking a service. Got an old gift card you aren’t using or frequent flyer miles to spare? Got a lead for work or housing there? I’m not too good for any of those things. If all you’ve got is a prayer and well wishes i’ll take that too!

I’ve gotten this far with sheer will and the guidance of spirit, but now I’m asking for help. I’m choosing softness over struggle, peace over chaos, community over individualism.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

May your kindness return to you multiplied.

With love,

Rain La Curandera Moderna
