My name is Jacklyn Sauter (Herzog). My family recently experienced a delicate, traumatic crisis that has left me unable to work temporarily and all of us grieving. My husband was in treatment over 3 months and was thriving. However, while on a temporary leave from treatment, he relapsed, accidentally OD'd, died and was miraculously revived. He went directly back to treatment. A couple days later I lost my housing. Eventhough under the Good Samaritan Law they cannot issue any new charges, the drug use violated probation and Feb 7th he was taken out of treatment and sentenced to 2.5yrs in prison.
My current pressing needs are financial. It's a long story, but I had til Feb 8th to move out. Despite using all my resources (including Idaho Housing & Finance Association, etc), I could not secure housing in time due to unforeseen issues. I was also approved for a new place that last minute changed & denied me (long story). I was out of time and had to rush to put most of my things in storage units and move to south Idaho with my parents. Due to dealing with a severe family trauma (01/01), being in ER recently for health issues (01/21), and having to juggle these all while moving under pressure, I have not been able to work. I do not know when I will be stable enough to work, since I've had no time to heal. And because of having to move away, I cannot return to the job I had.
I need help during this time for lost income (lost January + February income = $4800 / March = TBD), upcoming bills/living expenses, last minute car repairs ($900), cat vet emergency (over $500), etc. There were also moving costs, including my parents' gas driving to/from Cascade, ID (approx. $500), storage unit fees every month, several moving materials, and many other expenses that come with a crisis. I also need help financially to be able to communicate with my husband in jail & prison as it is very expensive and we need each other's support now more than ever.
Unsolicited counsel or prying questions at this time are overwhelming and not helpful. I am getting tons of support from church groups, support groups, therapy, family & friends. Encouragement and prayers are very welcome.
It has come to a point where I had to have the courage to reach out for financial help, again. My parents are missionaries and have already done a lot. If you feel led to give, anything helps. If you can't or aren't comfortable, it is totally okay. Thank you for understanding and thank you for prayers.
I also want to shout out sincere gratitude to those who've already given with time, encouragement, prayer and/or finances. ❤️ This means more than you will ever know.
I have faith there will be another side of this, and that God's redemption of this part of the story will be a Lighthouse to others one day. My husband and I pray together daily and are trusting God to be our strength in what feels impossible.
