Jes Browder needs help.
I know better than anyone how many struggles, health issues, tragedies, deaths, major life obstacles and horrendous situations this woman has had to overcome throughout her life, but especially over the last 5-10 years.
She's kicked around asking the community for help for such a long time, but has been too afraid of being judged or ridiculed, and devoted herself to being as self reliant as humanly possible instead. She's pulled herself out of dire scenarios hundreds of times, and at this point she's physically, mentally, and financially worn thin and beyond burnt out.
So I'm asking now- Please, I know so many are struggling, especially in WNC from post Helene fallout, but if anyone can help contribute to help her get on her feet, even if it's a small amount, anything is deeply appreciated.
She's on the verge of being forced out of housing Again, her truck is seemingly cursed with neverending mechanical issues, and she desperately needs a new phone as well as other forms of support to make moves to secure whatever she needs to survive and be ok in the immediate future.
If you have any questions you can dm me.
She's been through Way too much, and has a long list of chronic illnesses that have made all of her circumstances a thousand times more difficult. She has a hereditary condition which most of you know led to her open heart surgery a few years back, and is formally diagnosed with Endometriosis, Epilepsy, Narcolepsy, Rheumatoid Arthritis, some other rare autoimmune disease, ADHD, C-PTSD, Autism,Depression, Anxiety and OCPD.
She is chronically beyond fatigued, constantly in debilitating pain, having seizures on a regular basis, dizzy spells, fainting on and off, all while trying desperately to manage a mix of mental health conditions, and yet she pushes through, over and over and over.
On top of that, the seizures have led to brain damage and semi severe memory loss.
She doesn't qualify for government assistance for multiple reasons and wants to work towards leaving the country anyway, mainly in search of more affordable accessible health care and safety.
She can not move back to GA live with her parents for many reasons but mainly because she would lose her health insurance and all the medical care that she did finally establish in NC.
If there are any questions of, "Well why doesn't she just-" trust me, if you've thought of it, so has she, and there are a thousand reasons she's stuck in the position she's in.
She's moved three times every six months in the last two years in addition to having to move fairly often even before that, and it's literally killing her from such high levels of physical and mental stress.
Several unstable housing situations with unsafe hurricane related flood and mold damage, pest issues, lack of functional heating during extreme temperatures, dangerous collapsing floors/structural foundation issues, all of this property management neglect by unethical landlords among other circumstances have left her displaced over and over.
I love Jes to death. She has a heart of gold, and she tries So Hard.
I want so badly to help her get to a better healthier happier stable place.
I don't want her to lose hope and I don't want to lose her.
I need her to see how loved and appreciated she is by dozens and dozens of people, who all want and need her to stick around.
She's currently hanging by a thread thinner than a spider web and it is long Long overdue for me to be posting this.
I am in charge of managing this account but 100% of donations will go to her. I wrote this entire post and set the donation goal myself without her input just fyi but she is aware that I created this.
Jes has given so much of herself to help and support others in the community over the last twenty+ years, it is time for her to receive.
