Help me Rebuild & Serve in Bulgaria

Hi, I’m Tricia.


In what felt like a very short time, I lost everything that once gave me a sense of identity and purpose—my business that I had built from the ground up, my community, my relationship, my car, my apartment, my cat, my personal belongings, and my financial stability.


Some things I had to let go of, and others seemed to fall away beyond my control. Either way, I found myself walking into the unknown without any clear direction.


I then found myself nearly homeless and without a job in a foreign country.


I was completely lost—grieving deeply, struggling with an identity crisis, and facing a profound sense of spiritual brokenness and lack of meaning.


But in that darkness, everything changed.


I encountered Jesus, and He saved me.


Since then, I’ve been rebuilding my life from the ground up, with Him at the center. I’ve left behind a past marked by addiction, trauma, abusive relationships, and spiritual deception, and I’m learning what it means to walk in faith, obedience, and trust.


Right now, I’m working to rebuild stability while stepping into what He’s calling me to do: sharing my testimony online, encouraging others through hardship, and teaching English to children in Bulgaria as a way to serve and build meaningful connections. I’m also planting the seeds for a healthy food ministry here. As a former founder of a food truck and juice bar in the United States, I plan to bring a healthy food concept to this community—offering simple, nutritious food and incorporating a giving model that helps feed those who are hungry and in need.

This GiveSendGo campaign is helping to support the mission work I’m doing now and what the Lord is preparing me to step intosharing hope, faith, food, and God’s love with others.


If you feel led to give, any amount truly means so much to me. And if you’re unable to donate, your prayers and encouragement are deeply appreciated.


Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for being part of this journey with me.
