I’ve survived a lot in life. However the thing I am most proud of surviving is the childhood trauma that I endured. I had some really dark days, where I for sure thought I wouldn’t make it, but make it I did, and not only did I make it, but I thrived, and I survived. The legacy of trauma is long lasting, but it is survivable. I am proof of that.

In darkness, light blooms,

Silent scars whisper of strength,

Hope, a quiet song.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
