Help Us Secure a Safe Family Vehicle

Update: Any further donations will go to small car repairs for our new vehicle to be winter ready.




Hello community

I’m reaching out with transparency, faith, and trust in collective care.

I am a self-informed trauma-sensitive yoga facilitator, herbalist, and wellness coach who has spent years offering free education, classes, and holistic support to my community, especially to women, mothers, and families navigating healing and transition.

Last year, my children and I experienced an unexpected housing shift when the roof of our RV developed a major leak. After receiving repair estimates, it became clear that the cost to fix the roof far exceeded the value of the RV itself. Because of this, we were forced to junk the RV and make a quick transition back to Minnesota for safety and stability.

Now, with Minnesota winter temperatures dropping below zero, not having a reliable vehicle has become a serious safety concern, especially for my children. Navigating subzero weather through shared rides, public transportation, or Ubers is no longer sustainable or safe.

This request is not coming from lack, but from responsibility, protection, and community alignment. I believe deeply in mutual aid. The same way I pour into others through my work, I am allowing myself to receive support when it is needed.

A reliable family vehicle would allow me to:
• Safely transport my children during extreme cold
• Get to grocery stores, appointments, and school needs
• Continue offering wellness education and community classes
• Reduce the ongoing financial strain of unstable transportation

Every contribution, no matter the size, goes directly toward securing a dependable vehicle for my children and me. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for being part of a community rooted in care, reciprocity, and collective resilience.

With gratitude,
✨ A mother, healer, and community vessel ✨
