This fundraiser began in October 2023 and as of April 2025, all funds have been expended and utilized.

UPDATE #15 – April 9, 2025

GLORY AHEAD

Hello friends! I know I have been quiet for some time. Although I have been in a season of transition for the past decade, these last six months in particular have held such an accelerated time of transition that I have not been able to share too much publicly. I will share more in the days ahead but for now, I wanted to thank you for all your support, prayer, and encouragement. I have recently overcome and pressed through some absolutely gigantic obstacles, yet I still find myself in the thick of the fight to continue to endure, while standing with great expectancy of breakthrough, healing, and a new dawn ahead.

I presently have a mold-free place to stay until sometime in May and am not yet sure where I will be after that, but the place I have been given for the moment is a major answer to prayer. Some of my top key prayer needs would be for major shifts and healing to come to my liver, detoxification pathways, adrenals, thyroid, and restorative sleep, along with endurance through the intensity of the pain/symptoms/exhaustion that have recently hit another level. I am also believing for financial provision for timely treatment needs to show up, but more than anything else, I am pressing into better knowing the heart of God.

I will not be on social media for at least the next seven days (and possibly longer) as I take time to reset and seek Him deeper. I am also aware that there are many of you who have reached out in recent months (and years) who have yet to receive a response. Please know how dearly I treasure your care and so wish I had the capacity to engage further, but all I have to give is currently stretched thin across the daily fight to face life and pursue healing. I do look forward to the day that changes but in the meantime, be reassured that I love each of you and am truly grateful for your care.

Whatever we see now is not what will be forever. Glory is just around the bend. 🩵

Picture Note: The first photo was taken when the rain and fog were obscuring the mountains but after a full day of dreary skies, they suddenly rolled back displaying a sky full of glory. I would never have anticipated this by looking at how the day had been unfolding but it came anyway. (Click the title link to see the photos in the blog post as I was unable to insert them here.)

UPDATE #14 – January 20, 2025

AT THE CROSSROADS

Hi friends, I just wanted to let you know that I am facing a major life crossroads right now and could truly use your prayers as I watch and listen for the way to go and believe for provision to show up once again. My current landlord had to suddenly put her home on the market this month and has sacrificially and kindly been helping pack up all my things. I have nowhere to call home at the moment and have been going through an incredibly intense time with my health that consumes every moment of the day and night. I am too weak to get through the basics of daily survival and have no energy leftover to work on the most urgent and pressing things such as the housing search, financial support, treatment, and other necessities of life. This is not my first rodeo as they say, but it is another one hitting in the midst of a marathon that has worn me to my deepest core. It has been months since I have seen the sun (literally) but I know God will be faithful once again. Would you stand with me in expecting and believing His provision to show up in every way it is needed right now? I know He has an answer because He is the answer.

Love you all!

“You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, His generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus.” – Philippians 4:19 (MSG)

For those who are interested, I have posted a few reflections on my health updates blog over the past week. You can find them here:

WASTE PLACES AND WILDERNESS

UPDATE #12 – November 13, 2024

INTO THE NEW…

Hi friends, I have stepped into some wild adventures since my last post that I look forward to sharing in the days ahead. I know you would all be just as surprised as I am to hear what has transpired but I am not yet at liberty to go into the details.

I can say that I have seen God show up in incredible ways and carry me through what is humanly impossible again and again. He has met me through people and in unexpected and unusual ways and I am deeply grateful. I wanted to share a few recent updates with you as I know some have been asking for a status update.

Lab Results

I recently received new lab results for particular markers that had not been checked for quite some time, along with the standard ones, and the results were both encouraging and concerning. Without going in depth, the good news is that my WBC count is healthier and other previous problem areas are closer to the low end of “normal.” Some of the most concerning red flags are my extremely low B12 and Vitamin D levels, along with elevated IgE levels, cholesterol, and homocysteine. The IgE levels are some of the highest my doctor has ever seen and point to a high histamine response to an unidentified allergen(s) source. The main theme throughout the labs highlighted the need for B vitamins and significant levels of systemic inflammation. There is much to be grateful for, along with key things to address and pray over as adding supplementation in the most depleted areas is quite difficult and complex.

Hurdles

I continue to face serious adrenal fatigue, debilitating gut issues, impaired methylation, severe mitochondrial dysfunction, and much more. Over the past several weeks I have been dealing with a number of incredibly difficult hurdles, including back-to-back viruses and food poisoning, inability to sleep, unusual debilitating spinal pain, and constant dizziness/headaches related to declining vision issues and more. The lack of sunshine and not being up during enough daylight hours has added an extra layer of challenge, and I am still waiting on a pair of glasses to arrive in the mail so I can see again, along with the capacity to address overdue dental work.

Victories

On the flip side, some of my recent victories have included making it to a seven-year overdue eye exam (in a shopping mall of all places!), trying broccoli after quite a long time, tasting a spoonful of wild blueberries after 14 years of no fruit, and increasing doses on several critical supplements. I was also able to do my first online somatics session. Progress is under great contention, but I still believe I will move forward even in the face of all the storms and hurdles. At times it may only feel like a millimeter or less, but I will keep pressing and look forward to the time when baby steps turn into leaps and bounds.

I truly believe that I have stepped into a new window of opportunity to see healing come to things that have been waiting decades to see the light. At the same time, there seems to be a veil over what this will actually look like and how it will all come about, leaving me to keep taking one step at a time, believing that every step towards life will eventually get me there, as I leave it in His hands and refuse to give up or turn back.

Current Needs

Since my last call for 12 monthly $200 supporters only one person jumped on board, so the need is still great in order to cover life-sustaining treatment, rent, key supplements, and basic needs. At the same time, I am deeply grateful to those of you who are helping me carry this weight as you are able and thanking God for the many miraculous ways He has sent me help in moments of greatest need. You know who you are. Thank you.

Hope in the Dark

I realize that much is presently unfolding in our world today and my heart is carrying many things that I would love to share, I just need a greater measure of stability and capacity in my little world before I can address anything else. Take heart in the assurance that there is more happening behind the scenes than any of us are able to see right now and God will not turn a blind eye to anything. There are truly glorious things ahead for those with eyes to see and when we cannot (a place I often find myself), there is always mercy and that is where we can rest our hearts when nothing else makes any sense.

As always, thank you for your prayers and may hope lift up your heart tonight and may His peace enfold and cover you. The Light will always outlast the dark.

^{Note: I have been too ill to work on setting up Donor Box for those of you who would prefer that support option, but I will do my best to get it together soon. I only have the free version of WordPress so it does not look like I have an embedding option without upgrading to a paid account. If anyone knows more about this feel free to reach out.}

UPDATE #11 – October 8, 2024

PROVISION AND SUPPLY NEED

I have really hit a spot this month where there is an urgent need for financial resources for treatment, dental work, rent, and basic needs. I have been facing back-to-back emergencies and unexpected health situations, paired with regular monthly support not showing up. It is truly a miracle that I am still here and I KNOW this is not the end. I barely have enough strength for survival care and cannot do anything more at the moment. Thank you for praying with me for the provision to come through and for healing, and if you feel led to help practically you can support here or however fits best for you.

I did just take two new antivirals at the same time that I’ve never taken before so thanking Him for that step forward!

*Question for Current or Interested Monthly Supporters: If I were to set up a DonorBox account where you could set up automatic gifts would you prefer that option over Venmo/PayPal/Zelle? It will take out fees on my end but allow you to not worry about a monthly reminder. I am also still looking for 12 $200/month donors to cover treatment/rent.

UPDATE #10 – September 29, 2024

DON’T QUIT NOW – AN UPDATE FROM THE HEALING JOURNEY

Hi friends, I just wanted to share a brief update for those wondering how things have been going since I last shared about those significant steps forward late this summer.

For someone who rarely leaves her bedroom, I recently had one of the biggest weeks I have had in years with several appointments within the space of five days (normal for most but a major challenge for me!), the first of which was making it down to my doctor for a fasting lab draw and appointment. It felt beyond impossible, but I came through by God’s grace alone. I am so grateful for my housemate giving me a ride, the lab tech’s kindness and patience when the dizziness hit hard afterward, and my doctor’s care and wisdom. We are still waiting on the lab results to come back which should give us some new info to work with soon.

I then had a brain retraining session over Zoom and a few days later headed to the dentist for a cleaning and exam that was over nine years overdue. That was quite challenging on multiple levels, but I made it through that one, too. On the other side of it all I have mainly been trying to recover from the lab draw, x-rays, the viruses I picked up along the way, and the intense detox I continue to undergo around the clock.

One encouragement that came out of the lab draw was discovering that my technician had just recently been hired by the clinic to do somatic therapy with patients and she offered to do a free consult with me which is coming up this week. Somatics help the body recover from trauma by retraining the neuromuscular system and is something I have been praying to introduce for a while now, so this was a surprise gift.

As I have continued to press forward as best as I can, I do not have too much to report just yet on the breakthrough side, but I truly believe huge changes are just around the bend. It truly takes an endurance beyond description to simply keep choosing to get up and take another step, but God continues to enable those steps, moment by moment, hour by hour, day after day.

I am grateful for the addition of another new supplement recently, and there is great potential for pressing forward with many other key treatments and nutrient additions in the days ahead. I have been struggling with the current pace and long to take ground faster, but I also know that He makes everything beautiful in its time and this process is a part of that unfolding.

In the days to come, I look forward to sharing more praise reports and believe they will soon multiply into more than we can count! If you would like to know how to pray in the meantime, here are a few more updates:

• I am still waiting on the fraud to be fully resolved on my bank account but 80% of it was returned and rerouted to the bills it was meant for so I am grateful and believing I will see the remainder restored before long.

• The dentist would like to see me back to finish the cleaning and do a number of fillings so prayer for strength, funds, and openings in their schedule would be much-appreciated.

• Lastly, you could pray for deeper heart connection with Jesus, endurance, a joy and hope deeper than the exhaustion and pain, wisdom on the order of treatments, sleep, protection from viruses/toxins, pressing funding for medical + dental work, monthly donors, and a tangible vision for what life would look like as a whole and healthy person.

So grateful for each of you!

UPDATE #9 – September 20, 2024

I have a new video that shares a little of my journey. It’s nothing fancy and I wasn’t able to get the music to go with it that I wanted but I hope it blesses you all! You can watch it here.

UPDATE #8 – September 5, 2024

WHAT I DID NOT SHARE LAST WEEK

Last week, when I shared “The Big Update” with you all, I mentioned that one of the three biggest obstacles to forward movement was financial resources for treatment. There are always many things I am unable to share but this time there was a significant piece that I chose not to mention in my post.

Just as I was attempting to pay my treatment bills, arrange for urgent labs, and continue to move forward, I discovered that….

You can continue reading this update here.

UPDATE #7 – August 27, 2024

THE BIG UPDATE

Hi friends! Well, my promised overdue update is finally here! Thank you for your patience with the extra silence over the past few years. Honestly, words fall short of expressing what it has taken to keep living, and now is still not the time to share the fullness of all that, but I CAN say that it has required greater grit, tenacity, and around-the clock endurance than I ever thought could possibly exist in me. The ONLY reason I am still here is because of the overcoming power of God that refused to allow me to give up, no matter how many times I almost did. Jesus has kept His word that His grace would be sufficient and that is why I am still here today writing these words to you.

“A TOE IN THE DOOR”

My 2024 has already ranked as one of the most wild and turbulent years yet, but it has also brought forth some incredible shifts. For years, my doctor has used the expression of just trying to “get a toe in the door” when it comes to forward movement with treatment and for the first time in decades this has begun to happen both literally and metaphorically!

Just this past month, my little pinky toe regained movement for the first time since I was a small child. I have been able to start taking some critical supplements that my body had been unable to tolerate for much of my life, while simultaneously reducing others that I have been dependent on for years. I have been getting over viruses quicker than before, have even reacted less severely to environmental toxins and am no longer having the severe mast cell responses that were a part of daily existence for so long. My body is beginning to methylate for the first time in decades, and I have been able to add a few herbs to my diet, along with grass-fed butter and a little olive oil which is all absolutely HUGE for me. I have not been able to digest healthy fats for the past 15+ years and have been living on the same five foods or less for longer than I remember.

ANSWERED PRAYER + RESISTANCE

After treading water for so many years and living in a place of physical stagnation a breath of hope is now in the air, carrying with it the presence of great possibility. We have always known that my body was in desperate need of key nutrients and that particular treatments carried great potential for help, but I was unable to handle almost any of what I needed until now. The door is still not wide open, but it is gradually opening and that is making all the difference.

My body’s detoxification systems were compromised from a very young age and became almost nonfunctional when I was 22, shortly around the time Lyme Disease entered the picture for the second time. My body is now in the process of clearing out decades of debris and junk, which is truly wonderful news, but it makes for a very challenging daily fight and requires a great deal of strength to endure. Even so, this is the result of many years of prayer, so I am rejoicing to see it take place.

These are all incredible answers to prayer, and I cannot thank God enough for them! The resistance I have run into as I have attempted to press forward with healing has been something else, but I am refusing to give up, no matter what stands in the way. So much more can happen if I can just gain a measure of stability with the basic areas of sleep, hydration, and nutrition. At the moment, sleep is the most serious need, as I have only been averaging an hour of sleep per day for the past seven months and sometimes even less. I realize that my ability to exist is a literal miracle, but my capacity to care for myself and do anything of true value is incredibly small. I am also still dealing with ongoing toxin exposures and working through building back from severe nutrient and mineral depletion.

HOUSING & CHALLENGES

Thankfully, I have not had to move for the past year and am deeply grateful for God’s provision through my present housing situation, but I know it is not a permanent solution due to the unsuitability of the surrounding environment toxicity-wise and the cost of rent being out of my reach (our backyard contains a highway, train tracks, ongoing pesticides, and plastic factories around the corner). I am trusting that a new story of healing and life will continue to unfold as I keep taking the next step in front of me.

Right now, I am pouring everything I have got into holding the ground taken back while continuing to press forward into new territory. The three biggest needs in the natural right now are the urgent need for sleep, endurance for the detoxification process, and the financial resources necessary to continue with treatment. Close monitoring is required as we work to bring systems and organs back to functioning after living in severe depletion and a constant survival state for so very long.

PROVISION & NEEDS

It has been miraculous to watch how God has met need after need through so many of you and even strangers over the years. This has all gotten me to this point where there is now great potential for progress and life. At the moment, there are urgent needs for medical labs, a water purifier unit, key supplements and ongoing treatment and monitoring. My grocery bill has even changed due to the blessing of new things coming on board, but my income has not expanded along with it. If you can help in any measure, it will get me one step closer to life.

I am also looking for at least 12 people who could support at $200/month to be able to move ahead with treatment. This would make a huge difference in allowing me to continue to see progress and not carry the constant weight of raising support. For those who do not know, all my medical expenses are 100% out of pocket with the exception of any hospitalizations which are partially covered by insurance, and illness is beyond expensive.

WHAT’S AROUND THE BEND?

None of us truly know what is about to unfold next in our lives but I am fully convinced that we will see things beyond our wildest imagination, and I am standing on tiptoe in expectation for the fulfillment of the many promises God has given me of healing, freedom, and new life this side of heaven. In the natural, it feels like I have lost most of my life, but I know that God wastes nothing, and all those years were an investment and preparation into the incredible days that lie ahead. Thank you to everyone who has helped me get this far. I know we will be rejoicing together in the days to come!

“Their life shall be like a watered garden and they shall languish no more. …I will turn their mourning into joy; I will comfort them and give them gladness for sorrow.” – Jeremiah 31:12-13

UPDATE #6 – August 12, 2024

Just over a week ago, something happened that may seem so very small to many but for me was truly earth-shaking.

I was lying in bed unable to sleep while struggling with some heavy symptoms. As I went through a treatment for a completely separate area my little right pinky toe suddenly began sending out shooting nerve pain unlike anything I have ever known before, even when accidentally stubbing it.

A few moments later, I felt something release with my toes and found myself able to fully spread them apart for the first time since I was a very small child! I could hardly believe it! It brought such hope to my heart to see a real-life physical shift right before my eyes, especially something that had not budged in decades. I had been physically unable to move that particular toe laterally until now.

In my spirit, I immediately knew this was my own “cloud the size of a man’s hand” and a sign of greater things to come. (For those who are not familiar with the reference, there is a story in the Bible about a prophet named Elijah who prayed for rain during a drought again and again and finally, after the seventh prayer, “a cloud the size of a man’s hand” appeared in the sky and he knew the rain was about to come.)

In the days that followed, the range of motion has remained, and many other small “clouds” have shown up. Here are just a few:

• I have been able to eat a little cilantro and even a small bit of grass-fed butter for the first time in 14+ years.

• I have been able to introduce some key dearly-needed supplements.

• I have been able to get through new viruses much faster than previously.

These may seem like little things, but I have not seen such progress back-to-back in more years than I can remember.

Yes, every moment is still a battle to look up and not give up, but I know that rain IS on the horizon, and the “little things” WILL eventually turn into bigger and bigger things until I find myself dancing in a downpour of rain. 💦

Thank you all for your prayers and for anyone who is able to sow into treatment so I can continue forward with progress. This is fruit from both those things! ❤ Fuller update coming soon….

If you missed the first update, you can catch it right below this one.

UPDATE #5 – August 9, 2024

✨ BREAKTHROUGH AFTER BREAKTHROUGH! ✨
Over the past month I have begun to experience breakthrough after breakthrough in my health for the first time in decades.

The battle has continued to defy words and there are particular areas that have not yet budged, but I know, that I know, that I KNOW that the full unraveling IS underway and in God’s perfect timing, I will see the fulfillment of all He has promised.

I plan to share a few more details on what this looks like but have not had the strength to do so yet. Rather than put all updates off indefinitely, I decided to share this good news with you all since good news has been few and far between for much of my journey!
Tomorrow, I hope to share a specific story that highlights the shift that is in process and then I will share a fuller update as soon as I am able.

For now, I just wanted to praise Jesus for all He is doing and thank each of you who have stood with me for so very long. I cannot thank Him enough as well as my family and each of you.

Would you join with me in praying over the three greatest obstacles to my progress right now?

1) SLEEP – This one still hasn’t shifted and existing on 15-90 minutes a day for the past 8+ months is only possible with Him.

2) FINANCIAL PROVSION – Treatments are FINALLY having a powerful effect, but I cannot continue without a way to cover them.

3) ENDURANCE – It has been a very long journey and I cannot continue to endure or overcome the immense opposition that comes up against healing and freedom on my own. But I know that there is One who has already secured this victory and He will carry me to the other side.

Thank you for praying with me! The tide has finally turned and we WILL see His promises come to pass. 🙌🏻

“Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.”

UPDATE #4 – June 15, 2024

Hi everyone! I am hoping to share an update soon, I just haven’t had the strength for it. I thought it might help to post a link to my story for those who have wanted to know more. So grateful for all your prayers and support!

My Story – A Glimpse Into My Health Journey

UPDATE #3 – April 13, 2024

Hi everyone! I have been hoping to share a more detailed update by now but the battle has just been too intense to do so. I have seen some precious victories and small steps forward over the past week that I look forward to sharing as soon as I possibly can, but I am presently facing a significant situation with my physical heart, as well as dealing with some major toxicity issues from contaminated water and much more. My regular support has greatly decreased this year, while needs have also skyrocketed, and I have been unable to pay rent or obtain urgently needed treatment to stabilize my situation. There are many things on my heart that I would love to do to engage more with each of you and anyone who supports me, such as providing creative content, and more, but at the moment, I am honestly just pouring absolutely everything into not giving up, holding ground, and trying to reach some measure of stabilization. I know it will come with His help and yours. Just needed to put out this cry for urgent help right now. Thank you, friends!

My friend, Stephanie, recently recorded this short two and half minute update on my situation that I wanted to pass along here. So grateful for you all. ❤

UPDATE #1 – December 30, 2023

Charissa cannot thank you all enough for all your support since this campaign first launched! Because of your generosity she has been able to catch up on some of her rent, put food on her table, and most of all, receive life-sustaining treatment that has preserved her these past few months. Her battle has intensified dramatically and she presently lacks the capacity to engage with others but she is greatly looking forward to the day when she can thank each of you in a more personal way, along with sharing her battles and victories in video format. She is rejoicing in getting some sleep for the first time in a few weeks, as well as her immune system strengthening a bit further (she had one day off without a new virus recently for first time in many months!). At the moment, she is fighting around the clock just to breathe, eat, hydrate, and sleep, and it is a constant battle not to not give up but she truly believes that a new dawn is just ahead. Charissa presently needs medical care multiple times a week in order to sustain her life and rent will soon be due again. All funds received so far have been invested in her treatment and basic needs. If you know anyone looking to make a year-end tax deductible gift, could you share her story with them? The needs are great but the dawn WILL come.

Prayer Focus Requests – She would love prayer for: endurance/overcoming power, courage, the ability to take in sufficient food and water to survive, sleep, protection from viruses, healing for all the systems of her body that have broken down, replenishment of missing nutrients, provision for treatment/needs and peace to cover and surround her. Thank you dearly!

The Need: Charissa has been battling debilitating, multi-system chronic illness for many years which has left her disabled, unable to support herself, and in great need. Disability income and support from friends does not begin to cover the cost of treatment, rent, and basic needs, and health insurance will not cover her treatment beyond a partial coverage of an ER trip or hospitalization.

Charissa’s Current Situation: Charissa battles many conditions that are all interrelated, the most severe of which are Adrenal Fatigue (Stage 3), Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome(CIRS), Biotoxin/Mold Illness, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome(MCAS), Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), Long-Haul Covid, and Candida. She has a history of Lyme Disease and lengthy list of additional diagnoses.

These illnesses affect every system of her body and each moment of existence can feel like running a marathon that never stops. There are no breaks. This year has been one of the hardest years yet, with multiple ER trips, a hospitalization, a month without stable housing, two more rounds of Covid, and extra intense struggles to take in the bare minimum levels of food, water, and sleep needed for survival.

Charissa’s immune system is quite compromised and she has been fighting one virus after another for longer than she can remember. Due to swallowing and severe digestive issues, getting enough food and water down to survive is a 24-7 battle that never lets up. She faces continual reactions to her environment, as well as foods and more. Her adrenals have been functioning at 30% at best and cannot recover without adequate sleep, sunshine, and nutrition, all of which have been out of reach for many years. Charissa’s severe nutrient deficiencies, pathogen and toxic load, environmental reactions, and the things already mentioned above make life completely unbearable apart from the strength that God provides for every impossible moment. He is her only Hope and He is good when life is not.

Listen to the video above to hear a little from Charissa about her story.

How Can You Help?

Your financial gift will allow Charissa to receive life-giving medical treatment, which without leads to a downhill spiral and places her in a more life-threatening position. Your support also helps her move just a bit closer to healing and wholeness as she implements protocols designed to restore broken systems. Your gift will keep a roof over her head and provide an environment in which she can heal. And it will provide basic needs such as groceries, supplements, and much-needed dental work.

You are welcome to give here on this platform if you need a tax deduction. If that is not needed then giving directly to Charissa is a better option because no processing fees will be deducted and she will have access to the funds sooner. She can accept Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, or a physical check. And if you are able to join her team as a monthly supporter, please reach out and let her know. Having something regular to depend on is a huge help.

Looking to do something practical beyond financial support?

You can also check out her Help Charissa Heal Registry for specific needs.

Do you know of a business that might be willing to support Charissa’s healing with even a one-time gift? If so, could you share this opportunity with them? And please share it with anyone you think might willing to join in the effort to help Charissa reach her new day.

Would you be willing to do a short live on your social media, sharing Charissa’s situation? Many have been generous over the years but there is a significant need to expand the support base right now and she would love to encourage others with her story however she can.

Social media skills? Charissa is looking for someone who can help her create reels which can be shared with a wider audience for both support and as a way to encourage others who are also struggling for hope.

Up for an interview? Charissa needs assistance to make a simple interview video regarding her story/current situation that will help provide a better overview for those who would not take the time to read something like this. It can be done over Zoom.
If you can help with any of these things, have questions, or want to give directly, you can email her at charisgalbraith@gmail.com.

Be Assured: You can trust that all funds received through this campaign will be solely dedicated to implement life-sustaining and healing medical care, along with covering rent and basic needs, such as groceries, water, and supplements. Your gift is honored and will be used with great trust.

From Charissa:

“I cannot thank you all enough for your support, prayers, and life-giving words. I truly am unable to do this without you. And whatever you are facing today, do not let go of your hope! I cannot count how many times I have wanted to stop fighting, stop enduring, stop hoping. Every single day, actually. And yet, if I had listened to those voices I would not be here today.

Your story is not finished yet either. There IS a new dawn ahead. Keep going! You are closer than you know. We will see it together.”
