Welcome to my story.

My name is Jasmine — a devoted mother of four, a mystic, an Energy Healer, and someone who’s building a life rooted in love, healing, and community. I've been working to create a heart-led business to provide for my family, while helping us reconnect with our Indigenous roots, while living a life of Joy, Love, true expression of what calls to our Heart/Soul, complete Authenticity, & overall freedom.

But at this present moment… I truly need help. Something that is not easy for me to ask for, but if I am to overcome this, I must open myself up to receive & be fully transparent & authentic about what I've been going through.

Sometimes, the strongest thing we can do, is be vulnerable.

I am experiencing a strong relapse of lupus, after two years of remission.

I am also facing the very real possibility of cancer.

Multiple masses have been found throughout my body, in various places, with potential lymph node involvement, due to the multiple inflamed nodes throughout my body.

Multiple other organs are also been affected with the resulting inflammation of all that is going on.

I am also dealing with significant daily pain that has had an impact on my everyday life.

I am doing all that I can to stay strong - for my children & for myself.

Yet, I am at a point where I am seeing I am in true need of help - something that is not very easy for me to ask for .

This is why I'm taking the steps needed to dig deep & be vulnerable at a time that I would rather remain private about what I am going through.

Yet to sit back & not try - would not do my family & I much good, for the current financial situation we are in has made it very difficult to get the actual help I need towards getting a diagnosis, & some of the prescriptions I am requiring to help with all that I am undergoing at this time.

If you, or anyone you know, is able to help my family & I out, please consider donating.

ANY amount, no matter how big or small, will go towards helping me to cover the extra medical costs, procedures, specialists, tests, etc, that are steadily coming in as I navigate getting a proper diagnosis.

Especially in regards to the likely malignancy that my doctors are suspecting.

My current goal is to have an answer, or be closer to getting one, by the end of October, at least.

If you are kindly able to donate, this is how the funds will be used:

I need to raise $5,555, or so (this will vary depending on what additional tests, specialists, and/or procedures are added) to:

*Cover critical medical tests (MRIs, colonoscopy, biopsies, labs)

*Travel to Houston, several times a month, for appointments with specialists & other tests & lab work.

*Afford copays, medications, and lab bills.

*Access supportive therapies that have helped me in the past with my lupus, and now with the additional health issues that have resulted from the potential malignancy.

*These funds will also be used to ensure I don’t experience a delay in care, which could worsen my condition, or make it harder & more expensive to treat, the longer I have to put it off - which has the potential to affect my life, at this point, in significant ways.

I’m now at the point where I have to cancel or reschedule appointments simply because we cannot afford them due all the added appointments, tests, & extra specialists that I'm having to take on as we try to figure this all out.

All while my health is not doing well.

This is already causing challenges in my daily home life - trying to keep up with my basic needs, & with the duties of maintaining a household with several children.

Especially since I do not have the physical help I really need in my current situation.

This is no easy task, by any means, but at this time, I have no other choice but to do my best & remain strong, even when I'm in need of rest or help - regardless if I'm healing from a procedure, or experiencing a severe flare up.

Here is My Story that led me here:

Over 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with lupus. This affected my joints, bones, & gut.

I nearly lost my life during COVID, in early 2022, from a pulmonary embolism, which had been worsened from my lupus & having just literally given birth.

This experience was the last straw - for I was feeling unhelped by conventional/modern means & the westernized medical industry. I was sicker & more traumatized than ever before, after those last 2 experiences.

So in late 2022, into 2023, I finally began doing more intensive research - studying, learning, & experimenting with the native medicinal plants of my area, & pulling out old books I had from long ago, to learn all I could on natural & alternative ways of healing.

This, along with other methods, lead me to finding the Knowledge I needed about a combination of natural & intensive healing regimens that finally brought me into an incredible, & unexpected, remission!

I was hopeful. I was rebuilding. I was stronger than I had ever been for the first time in 10 years!

I had healed so much in ways I never thought possible.

It was such an incredible experience to get to live a life I was told by my current doctors I would never get to experience, because they told me to prepare for a lifetime of worsening disability. That they expected me to only get worse & to start fixing up my home to accommodate my worsening condition.

Those times - when my doctors told me these things - felt uncertain - yet I knew that this could not be all there was!

I was in my early to mid 30s & just felt so deeply that surely there were other options.

My rheumatologist (at that time) even told me that anything natural would not work, & tried to discourage me from alternative methods - despite me advocating that these could potentially address the root cause, instead of just managing the symptoms.

It felt so strange & my intuition KNEW this was not right to be told not to even attempt something other than the many prescribed medications I was being offered & given.

So it was quite an experience to witness that there was real power in the natural & "alternative" ways of treatment once I followed my gut & took the leap!

Then in spring 2025, everything changed again.

Almost a year after returning to Texas, I began to experience extreme bouts of illness again. And it was different in many ways this time - though some similarities from my past Lupus experiences were presenting themselves again.

I went back to my natural healing I had originally tried, but this time, it was different.

It wasn't working like it used to.

I continued to get sicker & sicker.

Something felt different. Off.

I immediately knew this was more than an autoimmune issue (if my lupus was coming back - which I wasn't fully aware of at the time I first began getting sick again. It took me a couple of months before I even had the courage to go to the hospital again.)

First, a lump appeared underneath my left breast. My heart rate dropped into very low rates. My abdomen & colon became painfully inflamed, with a hardened lump in my lower left abdomen (it eventually grew & extended to the front near my belly button) that had seemed to come out of nowhere.

Several ER visits revealed multiple growths throughout my body, along with some heart issues, inflamed organs, swollen lymph nodes, etc.

I am again suffering from daily pain (but in a different way this time, with worsening pain in some familiar spots), nausea, increasing weakness, along with many other symptoms.

I had originally lost a significant amount of weight within just a few weeks of first being sick, without even trying, due to the issues within my abdomen. I could hardly even eat without becoming very ill & dealing with pain from the digestion of the food I would consume. The pain would sometimes last for weeks!

Now that this mass had grown, I regained weight in my abdomen, yet, with worsening bowel issues that I will not go into full detail here.

And now, with my doctors suspecting cancer, with the left sigmoid colon & gastric areas being of the greatest concern - I’m in a bit of a state of worry about what that could mean for me & the future of my children.

I want to be here for as long as possible for my children.

I want to live for them more than anything in this World - yet also for me too! -because life is such a beautiful experience & something I want to enjoy for as long as I can, especially by my children's side as they grow.

To continue to be here as their support, their safety, their confidant - their Mommy - for as long as I can & am meant to.

I have many appointments, procedures, & tests scheduled over the coming months - , but I cannot them all done without some community help.

These particular tests & appointments will be the ones that can finally give me the real answers I need - especially since I was finally able to save up just enough money to pay for the colonoscopy & endoscopy I had done on Sept. 30th.

I will share what was found in an update I will be posting after this.

But I did not recieve full answers due to additional tests & lab work needing to be done on the masses that were biopsied during the procedure.

That, in itself, is about a 2 week process to recieve results.

I never expected that trying to find out if you have cancer, or not, could be such a lengthy & exhausting process!

Why This Matters So Much:

My children are my everything. I live for them. I’ve raised them with love, intention, and care, doing all I can to instill strength, compassion, & cultural wisdom into their lives.

Yet, I cannot hide that I am a worried there is a potential chance that I may not be here long enough to finish that journey, unless I get the care I need.

Even on my sickest days, I still show up for them. But it is not without it's challenges. And I need additional help to keep going, to heal, & to continue being the mother they need.

Sometimes, it takes a village, & the coming together - in the name of community & Love & humanity - to help each other out.

Especially in a World so riddled with separation & judgement.

One which operates amongst systems that are designed to not be very supportive of basic human needs & rights.

This is why it's more important than ever to come together in so many ways - as a human race.

As the Citizens of Earth.

To help one another out, offer support when it's truly needed, & to be the family that we are - for we all share the same land, water, & Sunshine.

☀️Sunshine is for everybody, yall!☀️
