Things have been crap. :(
I've been almost two months with out my diabetic supplies. My insurance won't cover my Dexcoms. And I can't get my Maunjaro approved. My legs have been swelling, hands, feet, it hurts so bad. 😭

I didn’t want to share this again. I’ve gone back and forth so many times, telling myself that asking for help means I’ve failed somehow. I truly believed by now I’d be working, caught up, and standing on steadier ground… but that just hasn’t happened yet.

The bills keep coming, the balance keeps growing, and I haven’t been able to put anything toward the bills or my mom’s cremation. Carrying that weight every day hurts in a way I don’t know how to explain. Grief doesn’t pause for responsibility, and responsibility doesn’t pause for grief.

Right now, we’re behind and trying to cover basic necessities — cleaning supplies, hygiene items, and the everyday things our kids need. Things that seem small, but add up quickly when everything is already stretched thin.

We are trying. Even when we’re tired. Even when our hearts are heavy. We’ve been putting what energy we have into cleaning work, hoping it turns into something stable, something that helps us breathe again. Some days, just showing up feels like a victory.

If anyone feels it in their heart to help. There’s no expectation — just gratitude. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for holding space for us during a season that has been filled with loss, uncertainty, and quiet strength. 🤍

In the span of just two weeks, our entire world shifted. What started as hopeful plans to buy over five acres of land unraveled into a series of events that turned everything upside down. Instead of wide-open dreams and room to grow, we found ourselves suddenly rooted in a small town on a .33-acre lot 🌿

In the middle of all of this, my mom passed away 💔, and we were swept into a whirlwind of grief, responsibilities, and decisions that we’re still trying to sort through. There is so much left to handle, and much of it will take time. Even so, I believe there is still a small light somewhere in this darkness, even if I can only see it one moment at a time ✨

We’ve also been sick for over three weeks now, and it’s been exhausting in every way. My body hurt. My heart hurt. Everything felt heavy 😔 But it finally feels like we may be reaching the peak and slowly starting to feel better, and that alone feels like a tiny victory 🤍

We’re still holding onto pieces of the life and plans we were building. They may look different now, and we may not be able to do everything we dreamed of, but we’re still moving forward — adjusting, healing, and taking things one breath, one step, and one day at a time 🌱

So, I don't have the brain power to really post. But this is what's going on with us currently. We went from buying 5 acres to inheriting .33 acres.

Lengthy post warning ⚠️

So, a little while back I had announced buying a decent sized plot of land and my intentions on farming and giving to people that need and strengthening the community. Well, 2 days before the surveyor was coming to survey the property, so we could start the official purchasing process, my girlfriend's mother passed away 😞. We had to pack up our entire house in a night and move to a different state because my girlfriend was left the property here in Missouri.
We've been cleaning this house for weeks now (it was pretty bad), stressed, depressed and exhausted. And now we've been sick for like a week with adenovirus, we're pretty sure it is, so throw that in the mix now too 🙄 just beat, but theres only a couple rooms left to fully deep clean, so we're getting there.
This property is much smaller than the plot in NY we were gonna buy. So unfortunately my original target amount of produce to give to people is just not gonna happen. 😭 But, we plan to do as many raised flower beds as we can without cluttering up the property too bad. But definitely wont be able to do it like we had envisioned. Kinda sucks 🤷 but it is what it is.
So after we finish getting this place completely cleaned, and we can breathe for a second, I would like to re shift my focus back to helping communities and people. I would like to find some people somewhat local to me to maybe even link up and help do mutual aid or whatever else I can do to help. The revolution starts with us. This is a change in my original plans for our ability to help, but dammit, I cant go to my grave knowing the things I know now, and not have done anything at all to help.

I love you all 💚🖤💚

P.S.
Picture isn't of the bigger house, it's a little dollhouse/cabin thingy right next to the house.

I am so sorry guys. My mom passed away and we ended up putting everything aside and moving. 😭

So.... A horrible thing happened yesterday and everything came to an abrupt stop. I'll still be here. The plan still remains the same, but, for now. I'm here to let my heart rest. My mother was found deceased in her home yesterday after I did a wellbeing check. She's in Missouri and I'm in New York and now my entire family is having to relocate.

If you can help, please do. If you can't, I understand. But please share.
