As many of you know, Mariah has struggled in her adulthood with the devastating disease of addiction. I know I have spent hours with her and trying to track her down. I’ve spent hundreds probably thousands trying to ensure her recovery, safety, comfort, health.
Right now, she is is the hospital. Finally, getting medical attention and nutrition. She is ready to try again. However, there’s of course a warrant. She’ll go to jail instead of rehab if it’s not paid.
Unfortunately, the misogyny, greed, hatred and abuse in her family - particularly after the death of my mother, means she has essentially nowhere to turn and no support system.
I have spent so much time money and energy and I can’t do it alone. neither can she.
I hate crowdfunding but it’s just so much at this point. I set a small goal for now because I know how people feel about addicts. Rest assured I’m not giving her this money in cash. Some will go to her warrant, some to Jenna’s promise for all Dawns support. And some to a fund to help support her as she recovers.
although her children have been adopted - any hope she has of ever seeing them again is dependent on her recovery. Imagine how wonderful it would be for them to know their mother beat this beast - once and for all.
Thats all I’ve got for now.
