Stay at Kripalu Yoga and Meditation center

For those of you who do not know me. I am a full-time caregiver for my son with profound special needs and my elderly Mother-in-law. My job is exhausting on the best of days, and beyond overwhelming on the worst of days. I started a fundraiser in my house probably about 3 years ago, in hopes of getting enough support for me to attend a wellness center in Massachusetts called Kripalu Yoga and meditation center. They have a great R&R program for folks who really need a place to de-stress and to learn techniques for stress management, and also for weight management with classes for cooking well. I have dreamed about this place for 5 years now, and no matter my efforts I cannot seem to come up with enough funds to get this break I so desperately need. With my recent diagnosis of Coronary artery disease, it seems I’d like to go sooner rather than later, the doctors seem to be especially concerned with my stress levels. I had hoped to raise the funds on a quieter scale, but without much of an income, and constant spending for our day to day needs, it’s been difficult to reach my goal. I have managed to raise about $500, but the cost of the program for 5 days is roughly $2,000 with everything included. I would like you all to understand. I have not had a night away from my responsibilities for anything other than medical reasons for 10 years. My health and wellbeing have really been hit hard. Especially with the loss of so many loved ones this year starting with my Mom, my mental health has been on full blast. With most of all the responsibilities that exist in our world, the bulk of them fall on me. I wake up at 5 a.m. 5 days a week and I am working from that time till usually close to midnight. The weekends are easier sleep wise but the severity of my son's disability makes everything a big challenge. I am hoping to raise $1,500 to help me get the break I need. Any amount you could donate would be greatly appreciated. I am truly grateful to all of you who care and support me in this journey of my life. Be assured that even the slightest act of kindness does not go unnoticed by me. Even if you cannot donate, your prayers, well wishes, positive energy, and good thoughts are appreciated, always. Below is a link to the program that I am hoping to attend.
