As a self-employed sports and medical massage therapist, I rely on my daily work to support myself. On July 2nd, I lost my mom in a somewhat unexpected manner. With that being said, I need to take two weeks away from my practice to grieve and handle her affairs. This unexpected time off means I won’t have any income during a period when I need to focus on my family and my own healing.

Throughout my career, I have always put my patients first, dedicating myself to their well-being and recovery. Now, with the loss of my mom, it is time for me to put myself and my family first. My mom, Leslie, was an important part of my life. Taking this time will allow me to honor her memory, support my loved ones, and begin to process this loss.

The funds raised will help cover my lost income so I can step away from work without the added stress of financial uncertainty. Any support during this difficult time means a lot and will help me return to my clients and my work when I’m ready. Thank you for considering a donation and for helping me take the time I need to grieve and heal. I know not every one can give but if you are able to, thank you very much. It is extremely hard for me to even ask for help.

I truly am grateful for each and every one of you!
