My sister Phoebe is such a caring, loving person and she deserves all the best. However, as I'm sure most of us can relate to, she can't catch a break from life's stressors. I'm not making this Go Fund Me under any false pretenses, I believe she needs a vacation and a tattoo, and I very much wish that I could give that to her myself but unfortunately I don't have that kind of dough on my own π I love her so much and this would be the gift of a mental health refresher.
I know this seems like an odd request for crowd funding, but in my personal opinion we should place way more value on doing things that allow us to de-stress. Mental health is incredibly important for our physical health too! And, I think we should normalize helping each other out in taking breaks. We all need them and our society tells us we shouldn't ask for help. Growing up in late stage capitalism has taken a TOLL on our mental, physical, and emotional selves. We are valued based on what we can produce. But I'd like to normalize rejecting this notion, starting with asking for financial help for my sister's vacation. She [we all] deserve vacations simply because we exist.
And if you know my sister, you know she keeps to herself most of the time but she has such a big heart. I am so proud of the person she has become and is still becoming β€οΈ If anyone wants to donate to this cause, even the smallest amount will help and be so appreciated ππ½
