I’m raising money to help bring back something that mattered deeply to me: Open Up’s Caregiver’s Yoga Class.
As full time caregiver for my adult son with multiple disabilities, this class was the one place where I could slow down and truly exhale.
In that room, I found a rare kind of rest. My constant anxiety softened. My body learned how to breathe again. I became calmer, stronger, and more grounded, with tools I could carry into the hardest moments of caregiving. Week after week, this class gave me comfort, healing, and the strength to keep going.
Caregivers give everything they have. Often quietly. Often without breaks. And spaces like this one make a real difference, not just for physical health, but for emotional survival.
For my birthday, I’m asking you to help me give that gift back. Your donation will help Open Up revive the Caregiver’s Yoga Class so other caregivers can experience the same sense of relief, support, and care that meant so much to me.
If this class helped me breathe again, imagine what it can do for someone else who desperately needs that pause.
Thank you for celebrating my birthday by supporting something that truly matters. Every contribution, big or small, helps bring this space back to life. 💛
