The Power of Community Support During Life Transitions

Finding Grace in the In-Between

There’s a strange kind of grace that lives in the in-between spaces—between what was planned and what actually unfolds. I’ve been living in that space lately, navigating the emotional terrain of a move that didn’t go as expected, and a future that’s still being written.

Thanks to the generosity of friends, readers, and kind strangers, we’ve raised $1,245—36% of the goal I set to help cover the costs of relocating. That number isn’t just a financial figure; it’s a testament to the power of community, of people showing up when it matters most. I’m humbled by every donation, every share, every message of encouragement. You’ve reminded me that I’m not walking this road alone.

The move-out deadline (September 6) is looming, and while the destination has shifted, the need remains. I’m still working toward the full amount needed to cover the moving van, groceries, and the essentials that make a new space feel like home. It’s not just about boxes and logistics—it’s about reclaiming stability, creativity, and the quiet dignity of starting fresh.

If you’ve already supported the fundraiser, thank you. If you’re able to share it or contribute, it would mean the world. And if all you can offer is a kind word or a moment of solidarity, know that it’s received with deep gratitude.

I’ll keep writing through this—because storytelling is how I make sense of the chaos, how I honor the beauty in the broken places. And maybe, just maybe, someone else out there will find comfort in knowing they’re not alone in their own in-between.
