I am in a dire financial situation and in desperate need of help.
Despite being the best kept secret in mental health and suicide prevention, I am facing eviction from my apartment on or around May 20th if I do not raise over 10K to cover back rent. The additional 15K requested will be used to ensure that I can pay rent and utilities in June and July as well as purchase an inexpensive car since I have been renting a vehicle since the winter when I had to sell mine to survive. In the meantime, I will grow my newly restructured coaching business.
My crisis stems from the fact that for five years I was engaged to and financially entangled with a narcissistic abuser. My ex is a human trafficking survivor from Chile who was sold to an abusive family in the US that did not finalize the adoption paperwork. This meant that for the entirety of our relationship I was the sole financial provider for a family of five while also experiencing the worst abuse and trauma of my life. I endured constant suicide threats, witnessed horrifying acts of self harm; was lied to, gaslit, manipulated, and lived in constant fear.
When I ended the relationship last summer after discovering I was also being cheated on, my ex did everything possible to avoid eviction and destroy my reputation, business, and finances by filing a temporary restraining order against me that I successfully fought in court.
The whole ordeal not only shattered my finances but my mental health also. I spent the early months of 2025 in a deep depression with dark thoughts that I once again had to fight through because my kids need a mom.
I was a physical therapist for nearly 20 years prior to switching my focus to suicide prevention when 9 years of traditional mental health treatments failed to prevent my first suicidal crisis in 2017. I am now a mental health coach, accessible yoga and mindfulness teacher, Reiki Master of Masters, complex trauma specialist, and spirit medium whose clients include the mom of murder victim Gabby Petito.
One of my current coaching clients is a 35 year old mom of two very young girls who has turned around years of suicidal ideation in just 3 months of working together.
As of spring 2025 I’ve been recognized as a Who’s Who in Mental Health Care by both Continental Who’s Who and Marquis Who’s Who (the list that made Warren Buffet famous.)
My sons and I have already been through so much trauma already, and the loss of our home would be absolutely devastating. Would you please consider a donation to help us avoid eviction and purchase an inexpensive but reliable car?
Thank you for your consideration, compassion, and kindness.
