Help Priscilla raise money

2024 was a challenging year for me physically, emotionally, and mentally. Various injuries, ailments, low immunity, and poor sleep took a toll, and learning to adjust my body to shift work was hard! As a result, I experienced a big dip in my mental and emotional health, as I was unable to fully engage in the fun, active & social hobbies that normally bring me life and "fill my cup." Yet, I was still pouring out - in my vocation as a hospice nurse and in my relationships. Let's just say "flourishing" was not the word to describe my year.

But 2025 brings a new chapter, and I've stepped into it with hope and determination. I challenged myself to run a sub-2-hour half marathon this year (DV - Deo Volente - God willing) and am fundraising for an organization that has been a source of support for me and many others in Hamilton.

Shalem’s vision is to see people, organizations, and communities flourish through the restoration of hope. This vision resonates deeply with me. A couple of years ago, during a particularly difficult season in my life, Shalem connected me with my first therapy appointment. Their sliding scale model made it possible for me to access counselling at a time when I didn’t have benefits, and the cost of therapy felt overwhelming (even as a single, working, young professional). Each session cost me $60, thanks to their Counselling Assistance Fund, and the support I received was a blessing.

Would you consider partnering with me to make hope and healing accessible to others? My goal is to raise $600 -to cover what would have been the equivalent of 10 counselling sessions- for someone who is hurting and in need of support. 

Every donation, big or small, helps bring restoration and flourishing to those who need it most. Thank you for considering this cause and for cheering me on in this journey!
