Healing Fund for Lydia L from NC
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Sasha Hsuczyk, a Sacred Harp and shape note singer based in New Orleans, LA. I'm raising funds to support my friend and community member Lydia L from Durham, NC. Lydia is currently transitioning from a residential treatment center in Florida back to her life and community in North Carolina after more than six months away from home.

Here's a message from Lydia:
Hi everyone - this is Lydia L from North Carolina. In November 2021 I experienced a mental health crisis and survived a suicide attempt that I have been recovering from since. My struggle with mental health has been ongoing for many years, and I have been trying throughout my life to cope and heal. It has been a challenging few months of going into hospitals and most recently into a residential care program in Florida, the Refuge.
I am now reaching out to my broader community for support as I transition from full-time assisted recovery to more independent living with the injury I sustained. I want to get well and return to my life and relationships in a way that is healthy for me and those who care about me.
My two-month stay at Duke Psychiatric was not covered by my insurance. I have a bill that currently totals $27,000 and is overdue. As I transition out of the current intensive treatment setting it will be very beneficial for me to have some funds for rent, food, therapy, and medication while I adjust to being out, as well as to help cover the costs of my medical bills. Feel free to reach out to me during this time! I have made progress at the Refuge (residential care program) and hope to find wellness and a life worth living.
