Support Shellie's Journey to Mental Wellness

Help Shellie Heal and Rebuild

Hey Friends,

My name is Shellie, and I'm reaching out to you with a heartfelt plea for support during a challenging time in my life.

As you may be aware...I am currently on short-term disability leave from my day job due to mental health reasons. To address these issues and avoid a more severe situation, I've been participating in a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). This treatment is crucial for my well-being, helping me manage my mental health and avoid a full hospitalization.

Why I Need Your Help

Navigating through this period has been tough, both emotionally and financially.

While I am entitled to short-term disability benefits, my employer is currently delaying these payments. This delay has caused extreme financial distress within my household, affecting both myself and my partner. The most recent development includes a letter telling me that they may be terminating my insurance completely--making the entirety of the Program become subject to out of pocket costs. The financial strain is becoming increasingly overwhelming, and that's where I humbly ask for your support.

How Your Donation Will Make a Difference

Your generous contributions will help us cover essential expenses during my recovery period, including:

**Living Expenses:** Rent, utilities, groceries, and other daily necessities.

**Medical Costs:** Out-of-pocket expenses for my treatment program and medications not fully covered by insurance.

**Transportation:** Getting to and from treatment sessions and medical appointments.

The Impact of Your Support

Your support will not only alleviate the immediate financial burden but also provide me with the stability needed to focus on my recovery. With your help, I can fully engage in my treatment, work towards mental wellness, and eventually return to my day job with renewed strength and purpose.

How You Can Help

1. **Donate:** Any amount, big or small, will make a significant difference.

2. **Share:** Please share this campaign with your network to help spread the word.

We are reaching out to our community nets for whatever help you may be willing or able to provide at this time. I am deeply grateful for any support you can provide, whether it's a donation or simply sharing this campaign. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us and are a beacon of hope during this difficult time.

Thank you for being a part of my journey towards healing.

With gratitude,

<3 Shellie (and Justin and Asher, let's be honest)
