Offer Support
Not everyone has the capacity to take care of themselves, their family, their work, their dreams, their health, and more - let me do it for you.
I have the passion, the skills, and the experience to make an impact in the collective acceptance and awareness of AuDults, and to create a space for others like me to connect and be seen.
I’m grateful for any form of contributions and belief in me to serve a larger purpose.

Because I need it.
Being Neurodivergent, I have to prioritize my energy.
Before I was diagnosed I was chronically burnt out, working 3-4 jobs to pay for bills and basic needs like food. It lead me to chronic pain, migraines, bone impingement, and other conditions I have yet to get diagnosed.
Currently, I’m in the process of unmasking which causes skill regression and a period of relearning. I was recently diagnosed with Atlantoaxial Instability, a common challenge for hypermobile AuDults, which leaves me with a baseline of five out of ten pain 24/7 that directly effects my ability to work.
Some days I have to prioritize my rest over productivity which aren’t always accommodated for in the workplace.

My goal is to get to a point where I don’t need financial support, and funds can be redirected towards serving other late diagnosed AuDults stuck in the awkward transition of burn out to recovery.
Until then a majority of donations will go towards …
Basic Needs (food, medical care, housing, etc.)
Certifications & Education (graduate school, coaching, etc.)
Business Subscriptions (Squarespace, Canva, Meta, etc.)
Expansion & Growth (community workshops, coaching, offering services and more products, etc.)

In my experience, it’s still taboo to talk about the alarming challenges AuDults face like higher rates of suicide, addiction, unemployment, and poverty which only contributes to these challenges.
Unfortunately, people of color and those assigned female at birth are also historically under-studied and underserved, so current statistics don’t fully represent the challenges within the community.

No - I wish.
Becoming a Non-Profit Organization is something I’d love to invest time in pursuing once I have a stronger foundation.

That is completely okay.
I would never want someone to think they have to donate or that if they don’t they’re a bad person. That’s bull.
If you have a skillset or experience that you’d like to donate instead, it is welcomed.
