Help Ames Get Back On Her Feet
Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name is Cyre (Siri), and I am writing this in hopes to help a human in need of support. I am writing this about a wonderful friend, Ames Lee. Ames is bodyworker, space holder and animal rights advocate. And most importantly a stellar new mom who is having a difficult time.
Ames and I met in the early 2000’s working at small hotel pub in Grande. Prairie, Alberta. Upon meeting Ames, I knew she was a special human. She had a healing spirit and an infectious smile and laugh. My soul aligned with hers right away. Fast forward to now, 20-something years later (!). Ames is a talented body worker, medicine facilitator and business owner. I reconnected with Ames via social media during her pregnancy and recent birth of her son, Woods. Messaging her sporadically, I came to find out Ames now lives abroad. I
could see that in the last few months of Ames’s pregnancy and into the birth of Woods, her posts had changed and she was going through challenges. She was sad and struggling. Her vibrant spirit had darkened. Ames let me know that she had separated from Woods’ father. That alone being enough to make any new mom sad, stressed and struggle, she further confided that the relationship was quite emotionally damaging. Her partner had mentally and emotionally abused her and took advantage of her financially, draining her savings and resources. Ames had left the relationship to protect herself and Woods from
further abuse and trauma. She left the home she created in the USA and travelled back to Central America where she felt it was the safest place to be to raise woods in a loving community and revive her business.
Currently, Ames is struggling. Ames is not only dealing with recovering from leaving an abusive relationship with a baby, but she was left financially devastated. It took everything she had left to relocate herself and Woods to a safer environment. Ames does not currently have a reserve of funds to get her through her “maternity leave”. Ames has resumed taking clients within her business, but as any new parents know, trying to maintain and manage a business while being a single parent is hard. Ames is working so hard to make ends meet and provide for herself and baby Woods. All while healing her heart and trauma, while needing to be strong for Woods.
I am here to ask for help for Ames. Ames has dedicated her life to healing humanity and protecting the earth and all it’s creatures. She has always advocated & raised funds for helping animals & people in need and this time she needs the support from caring people like yourself. As anyone knows, it’s not easy to ask for help, it’s an incredibly vulnerable experience, but I believe we can come together and help a new mama in need. The trauma and stress from being a single mom with little support is taking a toll on her and I am hoping we can join together to help this human get back on her feet. My hope is that Ames stops having to stress about finances and let her get back to work healing humanity and raise Woods safely and lovingly. If you are able, please consider donating to Ames and Woods. All funds would go to helping Ames hire a nanny and support her and woods day to day. If you don’t feel comfortable using Go Fund Me you can also directly support her & Woods by sending money to her Paypal ([email redacted]) or Venmo (@Ames-Balcome-1).
Much gratitude for reading, donating and sharing with others. Every dollar towards our goal counts.
