Hi everyone

This is something that feels a little vulnerable for me to share.

If you know me, you know I’ve always been incredibly independent and self-reliant. Asking for help, and especially receiving it, has been one of my biggest challenges.

And yet… here I am, choosing to stretch into something different.

My son Ryder has recently been invited to attend a specialized soccer goalie training program. Soccer is his passion. He has been working so hard this past year to grow his skills, and this opportunity has the potential to support his development in a meaningful way and open doors for him in the future.

As a mom, I want to support him in stepping into opportunities like this… and right now, I’m in a position where I can’t do that on my own.

In 2021, I experienced a brain injury that significantly impacted my ability to work and provide for my family. The years since have been deeply humbling and, at times, incredibly challenging. We lost our home, our savings, and have spent the past few years rebuilding in ways I never expected.

The good news is that I am now in a place of healing where I am beginning to step back into my work. I’ve recently started a new role in trauma-informed education and am also rebuilding my private practice, offering trauma-informed support and holistic healing services.

However, I am still in the early stages of this transition, and income is not yet steady.

This opportunity for Ryder has come at a time when my heart says “yes”… but financially, I’m not quite there yet.

The cost for the training program is $750.

So this is me, gently stepping outside of my comfort zone and opening the door to receive.

If you feel called and are in a position to contribute, any support would go directly toward helping Ryder attend this program. If more is raised beyond that, it will be used to support his ability to participate in activities this summer, including something he’s really excited about, which is learning to golf with his friends.

I also want this to feel like an exchange, not just a request.

For anyone who donates and feels called, I would be happy to offer a session with me in return, whether that’s support, guidance, or a healing session. There is absolutely no expectation, just an open invitation.

More than anything, thank you for taking the time to read this and for being part of our community.

With love, Pamela
