I started a YouTube channel a year ago and made my first video. My husband had his 3rd heart attack the next day.

One video and an empty Substack sat alone for 9 months…waiting for me to decide if my story was worth the work, if your happy ending could be the fuel instead of my own.

YOU are my solo family, your words have held my hand and wiped my tears. Your support comes through the ether, straight to my heart and I wouldn’t be here without you. 🥰 I’m blown away by how much I love y’all, whether I “know” you or not.

Getting monetized on YouTube gives me hope that I’ll be able to finish this house on my own, that I’ll be able to provide for myself and take care of him. Thank you, I am grateful beyond words.
