 A Recovery Fund to Help Me Rebuild

 Dear community,
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I am reaching out during a deeply vulnerable and challenging time in my life.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>I recently left a physically, emotionally, and sexually abusive relationship with someone I had been living with.</strong> I am now taking the necessary steps to create safety, stability, and space for myself to begin healing and rebuilding my life.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 In order to maintain a safe distance from my former abuser, I am currently subletting a place for the next three weeks. After that, I will need to find more stable housing.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Right now, I am hoping to raise:
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 * $750 to cover my housing for the next three weeks
</div>
<div>
 * $300 for supportive healing services, such as bodywork and massage, as I begin recovering from the trauma I have endured
</div>
<div>
 <strong>As I continue to rebuild and prepare to return to work, my expenses will continue into the coming months.</strong> A total goal of $3,000 would provide me with much-needed support and breathing room as I find stability, heal, and begin re-establishing my life.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Every contribution, no matter the amount, will help me move toward safety, stability, and independence.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 For those who know me, you know how much love and energy I have given to the ʻāina and to my communities in California and Hawai’i. Through planting gardens, caring for the land, and contributing to the community in many ways, I have always done my best to offer what I can.
</div>
<div>
 At this time, I am humbly asking for support as I find my footing again.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 If you know of any upcoming live-work opportunities, housing opportunities, or supportive work arrangements, I would also be deeply grateful to hear about them.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thank you to everyone who donates, shares this fundraiser, offers a connection, or simply holds me in your thoughts and prayers. Every act of support makes a meaningful difference as I take these steps toward rebuilding my life.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div>
 Nalu
