Hi, I’m Tru’ (Alisha), a burn survivor using art, music, creativity, and my spirituality (a personal connection to meaning, purpose, and inner growth, which guides me through my recovery, creativity, and self-expression) to heal and thrive.

My iPad is broken, and I’m raising funds to continue my art, wellness routines, and start my art business. My 23rd birthday is just two weeks before my 20th burnaversary, a time I want to spend focused on positive memories, self-expression, and growth.

Having a new iPad and art supplies will help me ground myself into further healing and thrive into this new year that I’m unfamiliar with. The funds will also help me get clothing, wrist supports, healing tape, and self-care supplies like natural toothbrushes. These tools are essential for my creative process, allowing me to express myself, manage my wellness routines, and build my art business.

Donations through GoFundMe or gifts from my Amazon registry are equally thoughtful and will help me get the tools and resources I need for my art, music, and creative freedom. My Amazon registry: https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/233QS9V0UP4W0?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_ggr-subnav-share_BCCYWZKHPF1EX188SN4F&language=en-US.

My family, friends, and boyfriend can buy me these things, but I don’t want them to use all of their money to support my wants and needs. I’m so grateful for them—they help me thrive every day. Your support means the world to me as I continue my journey of recovery, creativity, and self-expression.
