If you’ve ever taken a class with Annaka, laughed with her, or watched her light up a room, you know she leads with her heart in everything she does. Annaka is the kind of person who makes workouts feel like play, turns ordinary days into something fun, and always leaves people smiling. As a fitness instructor and a nanny, her life’s work is movement, energy, and caring for others, and all of that was put on hold.

Two weeks ago, Annaka was hit by a drunk driver. Since then, she’s been unable to work while her body recovers from injuries that take real time and rest to heal. Because her jobs are physical, there’s no “light duty” option; if she can’t move fully, she hasn’t been able to earn a living. On top of the physical recovery, she’s navigating lawyer fees, medical expenses, and a frustrating insurance situation, all without the ability to work her normal jobs. The stress of that alone would knock anyone down.

This GoFundMe is about giving Annaka breathing room, support, and a little grace. Your help will go toward basic living expenses, legal and medical costs, and allowing her to focus on healing, and not rushing back before her body is ready.

Annaka makes people laugh, feel strong, and feel seen. Now it’s our turn to show up for her. If you can donate, share, or send some good energy her way, it means more than we can say. Every bit helps bring her closer to recovering from this terrible accident, and back to doing what she does best: lifting people up and making life more fun.

Thank you for helping take care of someone who takes such good care of everyone else <3
