My friend Laura recently made the big decision to move to North Carolina away from her family in Oregon. Laura’s father, located in Oregon, passed away from a heart attack at just 48 years old, with no clear medical reasoning found. His loss has deeply affected Laura and her family. At only 22, Laura is now navigating life without her father’s support, alongside her three siblings. He was someone Laura could always rely on for help with everyday expenses like rent, bills, and car insurance. Now, she’s managing these costs on her own, which has been a big adjustment. The timing has made things more challenging, with rent and other bills coming up soon.

Laura is an artist who enjoys painting and finds peace by spending time at the lake. She’s been focusing on self-care, yoga, and writing, and staying connected with friends to keep her spirits up. While she’s working to handle things on her own, a little extra support right now would make a meaningful difference and help her stay on track during this transition.

Any contributions will go directly toward Laura’s rent, bills, car insurance, and other essentials. Your help will give her some breathing room as she figures out her next steps and continues to move forward.
