Support Melissa’s Healing Journey as I head into surgery

Help Melissa Heal After Surgery – $2,500 Goal

Hi, I’m Melissa Downard Brankiewicz— an intuitive healer, meditation guide, and spiritual teacher based in Freelton, Ontario. Many of you know me through the work I do helping others connect to their inner guidance, find peace, and explore their spiritual gifts.

Now I find myself in a season of needing help.

Next week, I’ll be undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in my right hip — a long-overdue procedure that will help relieve chronic pain and restore mobility. While I’m deeply grateful for the medical care, the recovery period comes with unexpected costs I cannot manage on my fixed disability income.

Now, I’m on my own healing path and in need of support.

What I Need Help With:

• $400 for renting a post-op therapy device that reduces pain and speeds healing

• $75–$100 for a raised toilet seat and crutches to help me safely get around

• $450–$700 for essential physiotherapy sessions during recovery

• $500–$1,000 to help cover living expenses and lost income while I’m unable to teach

• $150–$200 to help with groceries, pet care, and small recovery needs

I’m asking for help so I can focus on healing without the added stress of how I’ll pay for it all. Every donation, no matter how small, brings a sense of relief and helps me move forward.

My total goal is $2,500, which covers the basics and lets me focus on healing — body, mind, and spirit.

A Gift in Return:

As a thank you, I’d love to offer an intuitive reading to anyone who donates and would like one. Once I’ve regained enough energy, I’ll reach out to schedule a time with you for a meaningful, spirit-led connection.

5$ 20$ or 50$ would be a blessing

If you’re not able to donate, I would be so grateful if you could share this page with your community. Every little bit helps — and I truly believe in the power of collective energy and kindness.

Thank you for reading, for supporting, and for walking alongside me during this time of deep healing. I’m incredibly grateful.

With love, light, and gratitude,

Melissa
