From Hurricane Storms to New Beginnings in Hilo 🌿✨
Life has a way of testing our roots right before we are meant to bloom. As many of you know, my move to Hawaii has been a literal and metaphorical whirlwind. From navigating an illegal lockout to weathering a hurricane that left me with a split lip and two weeks away from my clinical work, the 'startup' phase of this journey has been intense.
But the storm is clearing. I’ve officially been accepted into a permanent home where I can finally provide stability for my daughter, prepare for my son’s return, and launch the wholesale side of my Apothecary.
I’m currently in a legal battle to reclaim my stolen deposit, but the court process takes time I don’t have while trying to secure our new front door. I’m reaching out to my community to help bridge the gap. We are looking to raise $6,000 to cover move-in costs and recovery while I heal.
If my work or my words have ever touched your life, I’d be so grateful for your support—whether through a donation or a share.
Mahalo for being the village that helps me rise.
