Hello, my name is Adriana Guthrie, and I am a high school teacher and radio broadcaster, who is passionate about shaping young minds and making a difference in the lives of my students. Teaching has always been my calling, and the joy I derive from seeing my students learn and grow is immeasurable. However, over the past few years, I have been grappling with significant mental health challenges that have started to take a toll on my life and livelihood.

Despite my efforts to maintain a sense of normalcy, these challenges have become overwhelming, impacting my ability to be the effective teacher and supportive friend and family member I strive to be. I have come to realize that while I have a supportive network of friends and family, I need professional help that goes beyond what they can provide.

I am reaching out to you, my community of well-wishers, for assistance in my journey towards recovery. Your contributions will go directly towards funding much-needed therapy sessions, medical consultations, and other essential mental health services. These resources are crucial for me to regain stability and fully recover, allowing me to return to my beloved classroom and continue inspiring my students.

My goal is to raise $34,000, which will cover:

• Intensive therapy sessions with licensed mental health professionals;
• Medications and other prescribed treatments;
• Holistic wellness programs, including mindfulness and stress management;
• Support groups and workshops to build resilience and coping strategies.

Mental health is just as important as physical health, and I believe that with the right support, I can overcome these challenges and reclaim my life. By contributing to this campaign, you are not only helping me on a personal level but also ensuring that I can continue to positively impact the lives of my students.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to recovery and to being the best version of myself—for my students, my loved ones, and for me. I am deeply grateful for your kindness and generosity.

Thank you for believing in me and supporting my journey to recovery.

With heartfelt thanks,

Adriana Guthrie
