Hi everyone,

I’m putting this fundraiser together for someone incredibly important to me— my best friend, Charli.

Charli recently had a serious medical flare-up that forced them to take a full week off work. Their job doesn’t offer short-term disability or paid medical leave, so this time off came at a real cost. They’ve lost a week’s worth of income, and with bills, rent, and everyday essentials still piling up, that financial gap is hitting hard.

Charli is one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I know. They’re always the first to show up for others—whether it’s with a comforting word, a helping hand, or just quietly holding space when someone needs it. Now it’s our turn to show up for them.

If you’re able to donate, even just a little, it would go directly toward helping Charli stay on their feet while they continue to rest and recover. If you can’t give right now, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world.

Thank you so much for reading and for caring. Let’s remind Charli they’re not alone in this. 💛
