Support Rei's Journey to Stability and Healing

Donation protected
Hi friends,

This is not easy to write... but I’m in the middle of a life transition I never expected to face. While I’m not legally divorced yet, it’s clear that the marriage has failed and is ending. The emotional and financial weight of this process has been overwhelming, and I’m doing everything I can to prepare for what comes next.

One of my biggest challenges is finding a stable place to live. I’m working hard, saving where I can, and exploring every option. But the truth is that with four cats (some of who are disabled and special needs), finding a rental has been impossible, and it makes more financial sense to purchase a house... but the truth is, I won’t be able to afford a down payment on my own without help.

This home would mean more than just shelter. It would represent safety, peace, and a fresh start. After years of emotional strain, being able to create a space that’s mine - where I can heal, rebuild, and move forward - would mean everything.

If you’re able to contribute, I’m deeply grateful. If not, even sharing this or offering kind words of support makes a difference.

Thank you for being part of my life during this difficult and uncertain time.

With love and hope,
Rei
