Update 11/28/2025 Not out of the woods yet. Danika has been fighting in every way she is medically encouraged to. She still needs us. Just the basics. Every bit helps, we are still waiting for the disability claim to process. Thank you for helping out this holiday season. Danika is a gift to this world ❤️

Update 11/01/2025 Please spread word ❤️❤️Danika has made so much progress, but she needs our help now more than ever! Her housing and basics are not currently covered by disability as we still persist in getting her approval. With the government shut down and food stamps disruption now we seriously need your help keeping Danika safe and fed and housed right now. Thank you so much.

*** Update 8/10/2025 We managed to establish Danika with another medical office and have been slowly getting everything sorted out. We managed to raise rent with your help this month for her by the skin of our teeth. Not out of the woods yet, but some more updates pending from Danika herself. Please keep spreading word and making sure people are aware that Danika needs our community support until she gets her disability claim approved ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

*** Update Thursday 7/24/2025: we are experiencing new challenges as Danikas services have been interrupted by the sudden closure of the Santa Cruz Planned Parenthood, this makes your help all the more valuable and timely. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️

Please LIKE and SHARE! to help my wonderful friend on her health journey! You know that friend who helped you move? What if you had just met her?? Ive had people say, "well, now, THAT'S a real friend." and you know what? They were right! Danika is a wonderful supportive friend to those in the community lucky to know her. She supports people all over the country with her dry wit, her compassion and depth of knowledge.

Anyways, so obviously I could extoll her virtues in perpetua, but I need you to understand this is the moment she needs your help! We've been working hard together to improve our lives, side by side. And she needs financial support to keep her comfortable while she navigates some upcoming changes.

She is currently preparing for major surgery and needs our help to keep stable housing. She is currently unable to work, and is navigating 2-4 dr appointments a week while she waits for federal disability approval.

This assistance is life-saving and at the most critical juncture. Thank you for being there for someone who was there for me when I most needed it.
