Our dear friend Reka is currently navigating a sudden and profound family crisis.

For those who know Reka, you know her as someone who gives so much of herself through her work and her friendships. At this time, a deeply personal and traumatic family emergency has left her in a position where she must focus all her energy and presence on her household.

Because Reka is a self-employed massage therapist, her livelihood depends on her being physically and emotionally grounded for her clients. The nature of this situation makes it impossible for her to provide that healing space for others while she is navigating her own safety and these urgent family matters.

We are starting this fund to provide Reka with a financial safety net. Our goal is to ensure she doesn’t have to choose between her well-being and her mortgage during this exhausting time. This support will allow her to step away from her practice for the time being and focus entirely on the hurdles ahead without the added weight of financial stress.

A Note on Privacy:

We are keeping the details of this situation private to respect Reka and her family during this vulnerable time. While we know many of you want to help, please understand that financial support and keeping her in your thoughts are the most impactful ways to show up for her right now. She is a forthcoming person and I know in time will have words to share, but right now trying to find words is too difficult. Please respect boundaries in this regard for her health.

Any contribution, no matter the size, helps give Reka the time and peace she needs to navigate this path. Thank you for your generosity and for respecting her privacy.
