I’m feeling a lot of shame and guilt in sharing this, but everyone knows that no one can help me if I don’t ask for help. As many of you know, I am a strong advocate for mental health and mental health accessibility. I believe mental health care needs to be and should be accessible to everyone. 

As most of you know, I have struggled with my mental health on and off for years. This year in particular has been especially difficult for me. I have had to leave multiple jobs and seek short-term disability, mental health treatment (outpatient and multiple inpatient hospitalizations), and support, leading me to financial hardship over the last year. 

Unfortunately, due to these circumstances, I have accrued a large balance in medical bills that I have found incredibly challenging to pay off. I am now at risk of not being able to be seen by any of my providers until I pay these expenses off. 

I have made this fundraiser to ask for help in chipping away at these expenses. I know everyone is struggling right now, so any support, whether financially or emotionally, would be greatly appreciated right now.

Thank you all for listening, and I greatly appreciate you.

Wishing you love,

Jenna
