You can call me French! Thanks for visiting my page! On December 18th starting at 2pm CST, I will be hosting an 8 hour long stream with a goal of raising $250 for the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Many people I know and love are affected by mental health disorders, including myself. I personally suffer from a wide array of struggles, including diagnoses of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I have struggled with finding apt help for these issues and understand that the journey to recovery is a long and tiring one. 

By raising money for NAMI, I hope to not only inspire others to give back and support others, but to challenge myself to speak out and educate. I hope to share my journey with my viewers on the 18th, but to also celebrate the life that I am proud to live. NAMI provides services to those who need it and may struggle to afford it, specifically supporting community mental health services and fighting for access to all. You can check out their mission statement below.
