Hello. As I welcomed 2026 I faced the challenge of balancing loss, while celebrating wins and and continuing with the flow of life. I was deeply honored to have been awarded a scholarship from Global Optimism to attend The Way Out (the Americas Climate and Nature Leaders Retreat). This opportunity will fuel my continued work at a moment where taking space to let myself grow and thrive even while hurting. While the retreat itself is fully funded, I am seeking funding assistance to cover airfare to get there. I am therefore launching a 5-day fundraising sprint to raise 6750TTD (1000USD). I'm asking for contributions of 10USD (or whatever you can comfortably give) to help me bridge this final gap and reach my target quickly. Your support not only helps me attend this transformative retreat but also empowers me to keep moving forward with the global impact work that matters most. Thank you so much for your generous support.
