Dear Friends.
Our dear friend Jeanette has had a VERY ROUGH year and is now in crisis. She is struggling with very serious mental health and financial issues. At the moment, it’s my opinion that she needs to deal with her mental health and get stabilized before she can do anything else. This is very personal and extremely embarrassing to Jeanette, but she is at a place that needs immediate intervention.  I have reminded Jeanette that sometimes ones only alternative is to ask for help which she has been unable to do and why I'm getting involved. She is incredibly private and is not taking phone calls or even responding to texts at the moment, and I promised that we would respect her space and would not inundate her with anything but love and support though this go fund me request (which was 100% my idea) and something she fought me on, but she truly needs immediate intervention or I’m fearful of possible outcomes. This is pretty much all I can tell you right now, but if you can find it in your heart to help Jeanette so that she can take the next few months to get her life back in order and get the mental health treatment she so desperately needs without  her having to worry about the financial burden associated with taking the time for herself. And again, it’s important that you respect Jeanette’s privacy right now and do not call her or try to get in touch with her unless it's just a text message of hope and as long as you don't expect a response from her right now. It's all just too much for her to  deal with currently. My heart hurts to see our friend who has such a beautiful, generous spirit suffer the way she is right now. Let’s all step up and be there for Jeanette. Thank you.
