I’ve said “this must be rock bottom” before.

More than once.

When I lost contracts I had already started working on.

When the job applications I poured my heart into went unanswered.

When I couldn’t sleep because the bills didn’t care that I was doing everything right.

When I smiled through it all anyway.

But waking up in the hospital on April 18, on my mother’s birthday…

That was the real bottom.

The kind that humbles you.

The kind that makes you whisper “Okay… I surrender.”

I have Protein S Deficiency.

It’s rare. It’s inherited. And it’s what took my mother’s life in 2010.

It’s what almost took mine last week.

And it’s why I’ve had to stop everything and focus on healing.

No pride, no pretending. Just truth.

Right now, I need help.

Not forever. But for this moment.

I created this GoFundMe because life is lifing hard and I can’t keep doing this alone.

If anything I’ve ever shared, created, or done has touched you, and you’re in a position to support, please consider it.

And if you can’t give, sharing it would mean the world.

This is me being real. Being vulnerable.

And still believing that better days are coming.

With love,
