Hi friends,

As some of you know, life has thrown more than a few curveballs our way over the last few years. Scott and I have done our best to roll with it, stay hopeful, and keep moving forward. But right now, we’re facing another tough chapter, and I’ve decided to ask for help.

A few days ago, I broke my foot—and I’ll be off work for at least 8 weeks. With no pay. That’s nearly two months without income, and unfortunately, we don’t have much of a cushion to fall back on. Rent, groceries, and basic living expenses don’t take a break just because I’m forced to.

I’m setting a goal of $3,000 to help us cover essentials and stay afloat while I heal. It’s not easy for me to ask for help, but I’ve learned that sometimes you have to lean on others to make it through.

If you know us, you know how much we care about the people in our lives. But even if you don’t—if you’ve ever been in a hard spot and someone gave you a hand—you know how far that kind of support can go.

Every bit helps. Every share, every donation, every kind word means the world to us.

Thank you so much for reading—and for showing up in whatever way you can.

With love,

Cheri
