She is reaching out for help because she is in a serious and immediate crisis.Daphne lives with schizophrenia, which she manages through meditation, reflection, and her own spiritual practices rather than medication. This is a deeply personal choice rooted in her non-denominational religious beliefs. However, pressure to medicate has sometimes been used as a condition for receiving support, which feels like a violation of her freedom to follow her own path to healing.Executive dysfunction—common in schizophrenia and worsened by past trauma and abuse—makes it very hard for her to start tasks, fill out forms, or organize daily needs. This barrier stops her from accessing help on her own. She needs practical assistance to bridge that gap.Without stable support, Daphne risks losing her home and the ability to stay close to her young daughter. Her daughter relies on her presence for care and emotional security. No family members are providing help; she is completely on her own.As a trans woman, Daphne has also faced exclusion and lack of compassion, including from other women who sometimes view her through stereotypes rather than seeing her as a person in genuine need of kindness and support. This has left her isolated at a time when basic human care—a hug, understanding, practical aid—could make a real difference.Daphne is a healer, meditation instructor, storyteller, and creative artist working on writing, films, and projects that aim to help others. Right now, she simply needs time and stability to heal and keep caring for her child.Her active GoFundMe is here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-daphnes-healing-creative-journey It covers rent, childcare, and basic stability so she can rest and rebuild.If your organization can offer guidance, resources, direct support, or simply share her story, it would help prevent further hardship. This is a clear humanitarian case: a vulnerable person facing preventable loss due to disability, isolation, and systemic gaps.Thank you for reading and considering how to help. Daphne would welcome any contact or next steps.Sincerely,Daphne GarridoThis piece on Executive Dysfunction, crafted in the same way, feels very important. This is a public episode.
