Help Megan Access Treatment

My friends, this is not easy for me to ask, but I appreciate knowing it's even an option because of the wonderful people I have in my life.
I have asked you to consider helping me raise money for a number of different causes over the years, and I am so grateful that you have always shown up with generosity and enthusiasm. I’m asking for your help again, and this time I am asking for myself.
As anyone who follows my page knows, I struggle with my mental health, including severe depression and suicidal ideation. Over the past few months, it has taken a horrible turn, and I have been struggling in a big way. I have an incredible therapist and team of providers, all of whom are trying to help me get into a residential treatment facility, which would provide a unique opportunity for treatment and allow me to not just recover from this instance of suicidal ideation, but meaningfully take the most significant steps on the road to healing.
The greatest barrier I’m facing is a financial one. These facilities would run me between $5 – 6 thousand out of pocket before insurance kicks in. I am simply not able to pay that amount by myself, and I am hoping that through the generosity of my friends, I can get closer to a more manageable cost. Any additional funds that are raised would be used to cover the expenses incurred while I am out of work.
Any amount is helpful and would mean the world to me – even $1. I appreciate you taking the time to read this.
