Why Your Support Matters

Normal began as something deeply personal—part therapy, part survival, and part legacy. I wrote this memoir to leave an honest record behind for the people I love and for anyone who might someday find themselves reflected in one of these stories.

Along the way, I discovered something unexpected: sharing my journey has become a way to help others navigate their own.

Every message from someone who feels seen…
every conversation with someone who’s struggling…
every person who realizes they’re not alone—
that’s the real purpose behind all of this.

My ultimate goal is to use this platform, along with the book, to make a difference. My journey has already allowed me to interact and support many others fighting these same battles, but in the end, it doesn’t feel like enough. I want to do more…I can do more.

Your donation helps me continue that dream. It supports the time and resources needed to go out and speak with others living through illness, addiction, grief, or the quiet battles most people never see. My hope isn’t to change the world. It’s simply to reach the next person who needs to hear that hope is still possible.

If this memoir has touched you in any way—or if you believe in the power of shared stories—your support will help me keep showing up, one conversation at a time.

Thank you for helping me continue the journey. Even if it’s just for one person, it’s worth it.
