Boots On The Ground Mental Health Aid

To my potential donors,

My name is Elizabeth Jimenez and I have a YouTube channel, Substack blog along with a local little library/resource center offering aid to those in need. I also have support groups where I do my best to help others who are struggling with mental health trials in their lives.

I have been offering financial help, care packages, and curated resources for those who need them when they are struggling with mental health challenges in their lives however the need has become far greater than my personal resources can provide. I have loved my work and would love to continue being able to do this so I have started this Go Fund Me to help me continue my dream of helping others.

My plans for the money donated are to do things like help pay for therapy/medication co-pays or for a month's worth of medication if insurance isn't available or offer help getting the genetic testing necessary to see what psychiatric medications a person's liver best metabolizes thereby making their medication treatment a little more streamlined (you'd be amazed how much this has helped folks I know!)--just to name a few things.

Where my "boots on the ground" help (beyond my work online) is being deployed is through my little library and mental health resource center where I offer books, journals, resources and aids to help with coping with mental health struggles like toys to help a child self soothe in an anxious moment, just to name a few things.

This is where you come in.

I would very much appreciate your help in making this possible for people during these very difficult times we are in where treatment is becoming more difficult to procure. In my town alone, therapy availability is 6 months to 1 year out and people in crisis in many towns around the United States spend their crisis time in ER's only to be left back on the streets or sent back home without the help they need.

Yes, there are many resources out there for people but there still aren't enough to cover everyone. Daily, people go without their needed medications or they spend time without mental health help because therapy is too expensive. Sometimes, a 60 minute session with a therapist is enough to save someone's life. I want this GoFundMe to be something that helps someone get from one day to the next.

Please watch the video to hear my plans and my hope for the future and within this video are my qualifications and experience with working in the mental health arena.

Thank you for taking the time to consider being a donor and

any help you offer will be greatly appreciated.

May God bless you in your life,

With love,

Elizabeth
