My mom is facing a serious health crisis, and I need to be by her side in Idaho for as long as she needs me.

I'm a dance teacher and choreographer based in Orlando, in the middle of building my own company. No paid leave, no safety net, just the work I love and the bills that come with it. While I'm here with her, my husband Malik is holding everything down at home in Orlando, the apartment, our dogs, our whole life, so I can be fully present with my family without worrying about everything unraveling back home.

Being here means stepping away from income neither of us can afford to lose right now. Any support helps us keep the lights on so I can focus on what actually matters, being with my mom.
