Hi friends,

This summer was not kind to me. Gigs slowed down, business dropped lower than expected, and no matter how hard I pushed, it just wasn’t enough to keep up. On top of that, juggling the search for steady employment, preparing my album release, and performing in a musical has been very taxing — and despite giving everything I have, it still hasn’t been enough to get by. Now I’m at risk of losing my housing if I can’t catch up soon, and it’s reached a point where the strain is affecting not just me, but everyone I care about.

I may have a job secured soon, which gives me hope — but even with that, it won’t cover the $5,000 in housing costs I’m facing right now. My goal is to raise this amount in the next 2 months or less, just to get caught up and stable again. This help would give me the breathing room I need until my new work starts and I can get back on my feet.

I’ve been doing everything I can to offset costs — picking up shows, taking side jobs, offering services like jingles, voiceovers, and background vocals, and selling my album on Bandcamp and iTunes. I’m also planning a yard sale to add another stream of support. But even with all of that, it’s not enough to close the gap on my own.

This isn’t just about me — my two sweet animals, Jolly and Jasper, rely on me too. Making sure they’re safe and cared for is part of why this support means so much.

So many of you have already supported my music, cheered me on at shows, or shared kind words along the way. Now I’m asking for help to make it through this tough stretch, so I can keep showing up for the community that has always lifted me up.

Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward keeping me (and Jolly & Jasper) housed and stable. If you can’t give, sharing this page helps more than you know.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for carrying me through this hard season and helping me move forward with hope.

With gratitude,

Whitney
