Urgent Support for Safety, Healing, & Hope

Aloha, I’m Jess—

a mother, teacher-in-training, and someone who has spent the last couple of years creating safety, steadiness, and healing for children through some very difficult transitions.

Right now, I’m walking through one of the most critical moments of my life. I’ve been holding steady as long as I can, using every resource available to me, and I’ve received immense support from a dear friend—someone who has stood beside me in this journey for the past year. But she can no longer carry the financial load alone. Now, I need to ask for support from my wider circle.

I’m raising funds to help cover urgent expenses that directly support the well-being and long-term safety of my little family. We need $7,500 within one week to meet immediate needs and are aiming to raise $25,000 or more to sustain the longer-term work of protection and rebuilding. Anything not used will be returned with deep gratitude.

While I can’t share all the details publicly, those who know our story—or who reach out privately—will understand just how important this moment is, and how time-sensitive it has become.

If you’re able to contribute financially, thank you from the depths of my heart. If not, your prayers, shares, and kind messages are still a powerful form of support and mean the world to me.

This isn’t just about one family.

It’s about helping protect what matters most—safety, truth, and the next generation’s healing.

This chapter begins with protecting the children closest to me, but the path forward holds so much more. With time and stability, I plan to collaborate with a close friend and change-maker whose work is already making a meaningful impact on families around the world. Together, we’re committed to supporting future generations and contributing to the healing of intergenerational trauma through education, advocacy, and care.

Your support in this moment creates space for safety, and plants seeds for something much bigger than us.

Today, August 16th, is my birthday—and I want nothing more than to rest my head tonight with peace in my heart, knowing that we are coming together to make a difference and finally bring clarity, closure, justice, and healing.

Thank you for being part of my immediate and extended family—your presence means more than I can say. I’m committed to staying in better touch moving forward. This journey has shown me clearly who my true family and friends are, and I’m deeply sorry for the times I wasn’t sure who to trust or how to reach out. The clarity that’s come through has made a world of difference. Once we make it through to the other side of this chapter, I look forward to showing up for your families, too—with the same care, steadiness, and love that you’ve shown us.

If contributing now feels like a stretch but you're still feeling called to support, please know that we’re absolutely open to repaying you down the road. This ask is about helping us get through this urgent moment—but it’s also about trust, reciprocity, and the kind of care that keeps going. We believe in circling back with gratitude and integrity, and are more than happy to honor your support however is best for you and your family.

With gratitude,

Jess
