Change is possible. Recovery is possible. But first it requires that the person believes it enough to stay. At the lowest point in my life, with no belief I could recover or change, I made a tiktok video for my son to watch in the future, explaining that I had felt I tried as hard as I could to beat addiction and mental illness but that I didn't feel as though I could continue. I was so lonely and had so much shame and felt unworthy. I expected maybe 40 people to ever see that video, instead it's been over 4 million. Thousands of comments poured in from strangers around the world asking me to please stay. So I did. I want to help others not feel so alone when they need a support system the most: aka when they feel broken and unworthy. The key to recovery is connection, and it is my hope this fundraiser will help fund resources for people in need of support.
