Hi everyone,

Since May, I have been out of work as I focus on my mental health and healing. Earlier this year, after experiencing an assault in March, my PTSD symptoms worsened and began to take over my life again. I made the very difficult but necessary decision to enter a residential program that specializes in trauma treatment.

I am currently in a facility focused on Prolonged Exposure Therapy, an evidence-based trauma treatment that may truly give me my life back. This program is helping me process the years of abuse I’ve endured, and though it’s the hardest work I’ve ever done, it is also the most important.

Unfortunately, my long-term disability claim was denied, and I have no income while I remain in treatment. I’m not yet able to return to work, but my ultimate goal is clear: to heal fully and to give back by becoming the kind of helping professional I always needed as a child.

I’ve been battling so hard to reclaim my life from the pain others have caused, and I know I can get there — but I cannot do it alone.

Your support would mean everything to me. Any contribution will go directly toward allowing me to continue treatment and focus on healing so I can one day help others who are struggling.

Thank you for reading, supporting, and standing with me on this journey.

With gratitude,

Lex
