Support Melissa's Journey Back to San Diego

Hi, I’m Melissa, a mom, esthetician, and someone just trying to rebuild life in a way that feels safe and whole.

I’ve been living in Las Vegas for a few years now, and while I’ve tried to make it work – mentally, emotionally, and financially – it’s been draining in ways I didn’t expect. I left San Diego, hoping for a fresh start, but I’ve come to realize… what I truly need is to go back home.

Being in Las Vegas has taken a toll on my mental health. I’ve tried to stay strong, but the energy, the isolation, and the constant feeling of being stuck have worn me down. It’s hard to explain how heavy it feels when every day feels like survival mode.

I know moving back to San Diego, won’t solve everything, but I truly believe I’ll be able to breathe again there – to heal, rebuild, and become the version of myself that my son deserves.

I want to move my little family back to San Diego, not just to change my surroundings, but to change my life.

This isn’t about running away. It’s about finally choosing myself. Choosing stability. Choosing to give my son and myself a better future.

I’m doing everything I can – selling my things, taking every client I can book, and saving little by little. But realistically, to make this move happen safely and responsibly, I need to raise $7,000-$10,000 to cover:

Even if you can’t donate, just reading this, sharing this, or watching my videos help more than you know. I’m not asking for a handout – I’m asking for a little help. And I’m so grateful to anyone who can help me take this step. Thank you for supporting a mom with a dream. Thank you for helping us go home.
