The past 7 years have been some of the most joyful and the most challenging of my life. For different reasons, I've had to let go of not only one but 2 different families. I have been working on mending the heartbreak of losing my families, my home and the future I thought I was creating. Additionally, I have been trying to set up a stable foundation for my children despite the difficult changes.

I have taken scary leaps of faith trusting that the decisions made were for the highest good and wellbeing of everyone. Yet this also has brought a lot of financial struggles. Being a single mom with two young children, having to negotiate two very different co-parenting schedules and developing enough emotional maturity to co-parent to begin with, the pandemic, ridiculous childcare costs, and rising costs of living has been no joke. The fact that I have been able to more or less stay afloat the last 2 years after my divorce has been a miracle and a testament to the power I know I have within me to carry forward.

But the truth is that I need support. I have been struggling for quite some time but the shame and belief that it's my responsibility and that I need to figure shit out on my own has kept me from reaching out for help. So here I am asking for your support.

Covid renter protections ended March 2023 so I could face eviction if I don't pay my rent each month, which is exactly what is happening right now. I have never been in that situation before and it is truly scary, especially as I think about the safety and wellbeing of my children.

So if you find it in your heart to be able to support us, please do and know that I send a thousand blessings so that whatever you can contribute comes back to you a thousandfold.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
