Hello hipforums, I have been on and off this site since I was 19. I have no idea of my old sign in but I created a new one. I used to go by wanderinwildflwr probably 12 years ago. I still read the forums but rarely post. I am trying to reach out to the community right now for some help and I thought this might be an appropriate place to try to do so considering the people and many opened minded types that use these forums. I am tryng to finish healing from chronic lyme disease and MCS- I made a gofundme. I am planning on going into the wilderness to rediscover some things I may have lost along the way or forgotten for a period of time and then finish getting my certification as an herbalist. I do not have any family to support me. The ones closest to me have passed on to the next world. I was the kid that bought the vw bus at 19 and took off to Canada. The odd crayon. Its been a long journey- and I have tried to make the very most of every bit of it. Right now- I need some help from a community and hopefully some like minded individuals will "get it". Here is my campaign- I am not trying to spam hipforums. for years I still got on here at night when I was seeking information or even just lonely for resonance. My old handle was wanderinwildflwr....its been a long time. Anyways- maybe some of you will remember me. I will post my campaign here. Anything helps! Even if it does not get fully funded ANYTHING helps at this point.. I am in major need right now to get something going and barely getting by working odd jobs and trying to get my health and life going. I'm doing pretty well. I plan to document my journey with photography and a gopro or something similar. I am also an artist by hobby. I am trying to raise money for herbal school and a healing solo in the wilderness. I do have wilderness education from living on an off grid in the high desert, a tipi in Idaho, and section hiking long distances on the AT as well as other wilderness trails. This is not an impulsive adventure I am going into blindly. After my wilderness healing/journey I am planning on getting more educated with herbs and having that piece of paper to help my personal practice and finances to work with people on a sliding scale basis (I have learned the importance of this- because I can no longer afford to see an herbalist or holistic health care practioners at the moment) More of my story and fundraising campaign can be found here.. please share if you feel inclined and thanks for the read! What a long strange journey its been... and more to come here is a link to my "campaign" *link removed
