After a year of rebuilding, Numi and I finally have a chance to start anew in a beautiful space— a barndominium on a shared 25-acre farm. It is a perfect manifestation of everything I've been creating and calling in for the past 18 months. But I need your help to make this house a home and rebuild the life I’ve been working so hard to recover.
This page was created as a landing spot to help summarize my story that's been told over the course of months, and to provide a place where people can easily come to in order to learn how they can help!
Welcome, and thank you for being here! We appreciate you!
Why I Need Your Help
At the end of 2023, I lost nearly everything after a year long fight to save it. When Is say everything I mean well over 95% of everything I owned was lost due to a devastating and toxic black mold infestation in my apartment that I had been renting for the previous six years. For health and safety reasons, I couldn’t take anything made of natural fibers (wood, paper, or fabric) with me, and I had to be extremely careful to not bring any of the spores along. This meant I had to leave behind not just my clothing, books, and all home furnishing and furniture, but cherished keepsakes, the furniture my grandmother left me, my most cherished possessions, and also my apothecary supplies, herbs, gardening tools and supplies, seeds, books that I had collected throughout my life, and much more.
Since then, I’ve been on a nomadic journey, creating content, serving my clients, and rebuilding with my community—despite starting from scratch. It's been one of the most challenging seasons of my entire life.
Now, I have the chance to put down roots in a safe and inspiring space where I can live, grow, and expand my business. This opportunity is a physical manifestation of everything I've been praying for and manifesting for the past 18 months.
This move is a chance to begin again, but replacing what was lost and furnishing my new home is a major undertaking. Let alone doing it while also moving one more time, and still keeping my business running, clients served, and community cared for.
This is where you come in.
One of the biggest lessons of this entire journey has been that I needed to learn to not just be the one who provides and leads -- in service as a mentor and healer. I had to also learn to receive.
I've known for a year that I would need to eventually be willing to ask for help but I also did not want to do it too soon. I pride myself on helping others and it's hard to be the one who has to ask now, for my community, family, and friends (and strangers) to help me.
I have had to humble myself in ways this past year that, at times, I thought were going to break me. And if I am honest, at times, they did. But I picked myself up and healed through that. And in those moments I discovered that broken, meant I was cracked wide open to discover new parts of myself, and softer aspects of myself who was willing to sit aside old patterns of being overly independent that were based in fear.
And now, I humble myself again to ask for your help.
How You Can Help
Replacing everything I own isn't possible or even realistic. Many of the items lost will never be replaced, and I've needed to grieve that -- and I have.
It's time now, however, to begin again. And to do that, I'm going to need to refurnish my entire life. In order to reduce my expenses for the past 10 months I rented furnished spaces. That means that while I have replaced a few things as we've needed them, there is still so much that I will require.
Every donation brings me closer to creating a home where I (and Numi) can thrive and continue serving my cilents and the beautiful community with the content I create, knowledge I share, and much more.
Every donation is so deeply appreciated and literally every donation, be it $2, $50, or $100 adds up quickly!
If there is one thing I know from the times I've organized fundraisers for others, it's how quickly a group of people can create a massive impact through collective action!
