<div>No More Superwoman.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, I’m Brelynn. I’ve spent my career supporting others—developing education programs, helping people through crises, and building safer, more compassionate communities. I never thought I’d be in the position of asking for help myself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2022, I experienced a difficult professional loss and didn’t have the health insurance I needed to manage my diabetes. I remained unemployed until November 2023. I tried to carry that season quietly and alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then in late 2024, I was hit with a wave of personal grief—five devastating losses, including a miscarriage, the passing of my beloved grandmother, and the death of a close friend from college. I was already stretched thin. I was under-resourced, grieving, and doing everything I could to hold myself together while managing a chronic illness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It took everything I had to rebuild. My mental health finally stabilized. I committed to using an insulin pump to manage my diabetes more effectively. I was just starting to feel like myself again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then, I was laid off.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While I shouldered most of the financial burden from my previous unemployment stint, I know what happens if I try to carry this (mostly) alone again. I appreciate everyone who has given me refuge, food, money or any other support over these past three years. Now, I can’t afford to lose the progress I’ve made, especially when it comes to my health. I’m asking for help early this time: to stay current on rent and have the money to cancel my lease, if necessary, cover basic needs, and maintain access to the medications and supplies that keep me healthy while I search for stable work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How the funds will be used:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$5,000 – Covers rent and utilities, and/or lease cancellation fees, and moving costs (if I need to move)
</div>
<div>$2,500 – Rx, and over the counter medical supplies
</div>
<div>$1,500 – Groceries, transportation, and other essentials
</div>
<div>$1,500 – Income gap coverage while waiting for delayed unemployment benefits and to supplement limited severance
</div>
<div>$1500 – Emergency buffer, travel costs for interviews
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to donate or share, I’d be deeply grateful. Thank you for seeing me and responding to the call.
</div>
