My Story

Hello, I felt led by the Lord to create this fundraiser in hopes of receiving support as I work toward safety, healing, and long-term financial independence. For personal reasons, I have chosen to remain anonymous. However, GiveSendGo has verified my identity through its verification and background check process.

I am currently healing from severe childhood trauma of all forms, young adult sexual traumas, church trauma, ongoing familial trauma after disclosing the traumas that happened to me, and substantial grief and loss through death, separation, and abandonment. For the past several years, I have been slowly healing through these traumatic experiences, deepening my relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and recently working on rebuilding my life.

My Current Situation

I am currently financially dependent on my mom, who has also been a significant source of emotional, psychological, and spiritual trauma throughout my life, including after I disclosed one of the sexual traumas I experienced. The trauma I have experienced from my mom has been profound, and relying financially on someone who has also been a significant source of trauma and who remains in a relationship with someone who harmed me has been incredibly difficult emotionally and psychologically. It has also led to additional emotional harm and traumatic experiences.

I have made attempts to re-enter the workforce in hopes of creating a new life apart from this dynamic, but I have not been able to do so due to the severity of my traumas and the ongoing trauma I have experienced from her.

My hope is that this fundraiser will allow me to separate from my mom completely and provide the financial support to give me the time to continue in the healing work necessary to be able to build a life of long-term financial independence. I express this last sentiment as I am in a season of healing and I am needing the time and financial stability to focus solely on my healing.

What Your Support Will Help Provide

The funds raised will help create a stable foundation that will allow me to continue healing while working toward long-term financial independence by helping provide:

1. Independent housing and utilities
2. Everyday living expenses and essential necessities, including clothing, groceries, personal care items, household supplies, and other basic needs
3. Ongoing veterinary and specialty medical care for my deeply loved cat
4. A peaceful home environment that supports trauma recovery and emotional healing
5. Modest emergency reserves for unexpected veterinary and vehicle expenses

Fundraising Goal

My fundraising goal is approximately $104,000, representing the remainder of my current lease and an additional 18-month planning period.

This additional planning period reflects both my understanding of the healing process from complex trauma and where I believe the Lord is leading me. I hope to be able to return to work before then, but I have learned that healing cannot be forced or placed on a timeline and that recovering from significant complex trauma takes time. Rather than living with the constant fear of running out of financial resources or feeling pressured to return to work before I am ready, my hope is to have a stable foundation that allows me to fully engage in the healing work ahead. That sense of safety and stability is an important part of recovery and will help me work toward my goal of lasting financial independence.

Thank You

I recognize that this is a significant request. I truly feel led by the Lord to ask for this amount, and I am sincerely grateful for any support you are able to give. Whether through prayer, encouragement, sharing this fundraiser, or making a financial contribution of any amount, every act of kindness helps move me one step closer to a safe, stable, and independent future.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, for caring, and for being part of my journey toward healing, new beginnings, and hope.
