Support Nicole's New Beginning

Hello human family. It’s me, Nicole. It is my turn to stand up, raise my hand, and be seen by the collective web as I speak vulnerably and ask for help.

I have been married to Dicky for over 17 years, and together we have created a life, a flow, a rhythm, and in that, we have brought four children into the world. Our strength together has been being parents, and that will continue. However, our contract as husband and wife is over. We are in the process of divorce. Though this process is many things, I find myself deeply steady and daily feeling the support of family and friends; each day an initiation into bravery, sovereignty, and vulnerability.

Launching this GoFundMe and asking truly for what I need and desire in order to root and anchor into a new life as a single parent definitely falls into the category of initiation. So here I go!

The reason and need for this financial ask is that the way Dicky and I consciously and unconsciously structured our family has left me in a place of financial need. Unfortunately, the way our society is currently set up it does not financially support the unseen and “invisible” tending of home. I have spent the last 16 years deep in the role of Mother; pregnant, birthing, breastfeeding, tending, tracking, healing ancestral trauma from the root system for myself, children, and family while also being a faithful friend, community member and mentor. A life deeply and richly lived and yet not financially rewarded.

And so, because Dicky is the one whose name is on the mortgage he will be keeping the house basically as is. This allows the kids to stay in their current school district which is important to us and this frees me up to find a rental within the City of Rochester. I will be taking my art collection, plants and pottery but the rest will remain in the home. Ultimately I am starting from the bottom up. Therefore, I am asking for a boon. I am asking for 22k. I am asking to be seen in my need and blessed. This money will allow me to confidently find a rental and fully furnish it as a home for me and the kids. I will also use this money to assist me in purchasing items that will allow my sprouting business as an artist and ancestral healing practitioner to blossom more quickly as I am stepping into the role of Provider now for myself and the kids. And if the goal is met I will also treat myself to some acupuncture because I need to be caring for my body.

I truly thank you for considering helping me out. Please know that my heart is one for the collective and that as I am in a time of financial need now, I will continue to give in aligned ways to the community. What you offer and extend to me will not end with me. It will flow through and continue to bless.

If you are unable to give financially at this time, I understand and wonder if you would in turn share this via your social media channels and/or newsletters. I also welcome creativity by resource pooling as I know that I am connected to many artists and mystics and invite creative means to raise funds through art and services that can then be donated here at the link.

Please note that our oldest two sons, Micah and Jude, know of the divorce, but our youngest two, Cedar and Enoch, do not yet. We plan to tell them once I have secured housing so as to not keep them in the liminal for an extended amount of time.

I thank each one of you for reading, witnessing and considering to bless me and the kids. "May it be so. Or better!" (thanks, Emerald ;)
