Grateful

To be alive and still fighting thanks to you

I’ve been meaning to write a thank you for a while now… more than an update… something that really captures how much your support has meant to me and Sophie this summer.

The truth is, this has been one of the hardest seasons I’ve faced in a long time. Lately, I’ve been dealing with heat exhaustion, pain flares, fatigue, and burnout on every level. My energy is low again, while my to-do list is long. Every single month this year I have worried about bills, about groceries, about car insurance and school needs. The unexpected medical and dental bills haven't helped.

I worry a lot about being evicted and becoming homeless again, about losing my car when I’m this close to finally paying it off (just around $4,000 to go). I worry about disappointing everyone who’s ever believed in me, simply by being so slow to get back on my feet. I worry daily about being a failure. About failing Sophie.

And yet, we are still here.

We’re still here because of you.
