As many of you know - I have resisted doing a second donation campaign for Jo but my God - if things were tough a year ago, they spectacularly excruciatingly unravelled this year and it's just a miracle how she keeps rebuilding and pushing forward - she is the most resourceful and positive person I know. I didn't think I was going to have to keep the campaign going, but after she hit the emergency zone over the holidays, she then had to transition back to San Diego in late January for some issues with her kiddo -not yet having been able to reestablish any buffer when unexpected situations come up. So it's been bumpy to say the least though signs of work and possible living situations are on the horizon.
If you could take a moment to read and consider helping wherever amount it would mean so much.
This last year everything collapsed. She and Alex (for those who may not know...he just turned 15 and is an awesome human and she has imo been super mom :) ... had to leave their house, business trouble hit hard, issues with assets from before her divorce reared up hurting her credit and closing accounts, limiting options... her car was totalled in a bad wreck and in all mayhem lost clients and work. Briefly her kid too, he went through difficult adjustment to all the chaos but to her credit they are again very close.
She spent the summer technically homeless (fortunately not directly on the street) trying to resolve what she could, staying with friends or taking the rental car and the dogs, working from the road staying in cheaper hotel rooms away from expensive summer San Diego and sleeping in her car way too many times. :( She's going to open up about her experience soon to shed more light on the always difficult topic of homelessmess and the many faces of it. It's not all that much better now as she looks for accomodations which - we know about San Diego rental prices!
As for the back story if you would like to read more:
In August she stayed at a friend's apartment in Tijuana and while there an apartment blessedly opened up in the complex, cost of living there is so much less. Since then she has managed to move Heaven and Earth to make things happen and start to rebuild, hoofing it back and forth across the border, seeing Alex, still no car and in San Diego those are long treks... there have been many miracles and many angels along the way.
This woman will be back on her feet and beyond this time next year but right now i can't let her lose this place... she doesn't have a car at the moment to sleep in (dark humor as she loves it).
Please feel free to email me for any questions. She's doing great and of course turned this into a plus along her spiritual journey and an adventure and challenge and is just pure love and light, branching into healing professions as her next steps.
Thank you for your time and many blessings to you and yours this holiday season.
PS - MS flare-up that started fall 2018 that many of you know about got really bad and affected her well into summer (but this gjrl is knocking off her challenges one by one... she is almost miraculously on a total mend from that - so amazing to see.
