**UPDATE**

Thank you all for your much generous gifts in the time of need for education purposes and grand opportunities that lay ahead!

It’s seems I have reached above more than my goal and I will be able to sign up for my Death Doula courses! I am SO shocked, excited and feel loved and supported.

**In this moment, I am no longer accepting donations as I have reached above my goal.

Thank you again everyone

Hey there family and friends-

As many of you know, I am quite open and transparent in my grief journey. After losing Adam, I found myself to be even more empathetic even if my battery was running on empty.

As I continue my grief journey, I noticed that the medical system isn’t where it needs to be to help support those who are terminal and for their family and friends who will soon join in the grief journey. I feel as if society has forgotten how to be human and embrace all the emotions that come with dying and losing a loved one.

This has sparked my interest in becoming a Death Doula. I want to be able to help those who are terminal and their loved ones during one of the most hardest moments of their lives-with love, compassion, transparency and validation.

Unfortunately, I have missed the Spring course early bird special and will need to sign up for the regular price for my Death Doula teaching courses. This is will be a big cost, that I unfortunately cannot afford on my own at this time, along the expenses I already have in my hands of being a solo, widowed mother in the Bay Area.

If you know me well enough, you know that it’s a very challenging and difficult thing for me to ask for help in any way possible, especially financially. But I have come to terms that it is okay to ask for any ounce of help, and here is my chance.

Would you be able to help spread the word and help me out during this time? Any donations will be greatly appreciated beyond words.

Thank you for your time,

Jhoselin
