Hope, Made Real: A Human FundMe Campaign
Dear World,
I’m praying and hoping this reaches the right people. I need urgent support to stay housed, afford medication, and keep building Simply Edyn & Co. while navigating accelerating chronic illness.
My name is Tasha Monroe, founder of Simply Edyn & Co. I live with chronic neurological and autoimmune illness, and after being laid off, my store is currently my only source of income. Without insurance, my medications alone can run $4,500 to $5,000 a month.
My immediate need is $10,000 in the next 4 days to stay housed, pay urgent bills, and buy my next 30 days of medication.
If you can buy, thank you. If you can share, that matters more than you know.
Hope, Made Real Fund
Direct support for Tasha’s housing, medication, care, and small business survival.
The Dream Goal: $350,000
The long-term goal for Hope, Made Real: The Stability & Build Fund is $350,000.
That number would help me address major debt, taxes, transportation, and the business runway needed to give Simply Edyn & Co. a real chance to grow.
It would allow me to invest in marketing, advertising, PR, sales support, expert help, product development, campaign strategy, and the operational support required to build a sustainable business from home while navigating chronic illness.
This is the dream layer. The GoFundMe helps me survive the emergency.
Hope, Made Real helps me build a future that does not keep me trapped inside one.

GOAL: $350K
Hope, Made Real began as a way to turn support into something tangible.
I am currently navigating a serious medical and financial emergency while living with debilitating chronic illness, searching for remote work, and trying to keep my small online store, Simply Edyn & Co., alive from home.
My GoFundMe is focused on the immediate and medical emergency: staying housed, affording medication, and covering urgent care needs.
This fund is the next layer.
Hope, Made Real: The Stability & Build Fund exists to help me move from survival mode into a real rebuilding phase. That means reducing the financial pressure that keeps me trapped in crisis, paying down urgent debt, handling taxes, keeping transportation stable, and creating a business runway for Simply Edyn & Co.
Simply Edyn & Co. is my online store today, but my long-term dream is to grow it into a brick-and-mortar marketplace rooted in care, beauty, useful goods, books, wellness, local makers, community, and thoughtful design.
A place to shop with purpose.
A place to gather.
A place that makes life feel a little more human.
The dream is not small. But neither is the amount of work, funding, and stability it takes to build something real while living with chronic illness.
Every purchase from the Hope, Made Real Collection helps support that larger goal: helping me stabilize my life, continue building from home, and move Simply Edyn & Co. toward the future I can still see clearly, even from the middle of a very hard chapter.
This is not just about selling products.
It is about creating a path back to stability, income, dignity, and possibility.
Thank you for helping me survive what is urgent and build what comes next.

My Elevator Pitch

The vision is simple, but not small: sustainable apparel, thoughtful goods, home, books, wellness, local makers, and community experiences under one warm, intentional roof.
A place to shop with purpose, gather with ease, and remember that softness can still be strong.
This campaign is my pitch to the world.
Every Hope, Made Real purchase helps me stay housed, protect my health, keep building, and move this dream one step closer to real.
