Hi everyone. Thank you so much for taking the time to read a little about our story. My name is Alex, and I’m a single mom to an amazing 12yr old girl who is my entire world and reason for everything I do.
I’m starting this fundraiser because the last couple of years have been difficult for us, and it has come to a point where I need to ask for help. I work a full time job as a mental health professional, and I’m currently in school to finish my terminal degree. I started studying psychology at first to learn about myself, and it became my passion and something that fulfills me deeply. I have dedicated my life to serving vulnerable and underserved populations, but I had to step away from that role a few months ago when my mental health became too fragile. I couldn’t sit with other people’s pain when mine was crushing me.
So I’ve been on FMLA for the past three months, originally intending it to only be a month. But it wasn’t enough time.
My PTO hours have run out, and I’m currently behind on all of my bills. My rent, car payment, all utilities, everything.
I have used this time to heal and get myself back to a healthy place. I’ll be going back to work soon, we just need a little help to close this gap. Anything anyone can give would be so appreciated. I know how hard life is for everyone right now, but I’ve also seen what can happen when people come together for one another.
Thank you again for reading 🤍
