My eviction was dismissed today. 🙏

It’s not fully over, they can refile, but it’s a victory for now.

I’ve struggled to ask for help, but your love & support carried me here.

I’m finally getting my CPAP, too.
More time, more strength, more fight.

Thank you. 💙

Thanks for all the support and kind words sent. I have court tomorrow morning.

Whether we make the goal or not, I’m hopeful for the future. Going from being left alone to die to people rising up brings me more joy than money could ever bring.

Thank you.

I didn’t want to ask. But I’m out of time.
Eviction court is days away. I asked my aunt, the one who always said I was family, and got silence.

After 2 years of health struggles and survival…this is my last shot.

Help me keep writing my story.

Thank you for all the support and kind words. I've cried off and on the entire weekend. I'm trying to respond to everything as fast as I can.

Whatever the outcome is, seeing all the love and support is more than I could have ever asked.

Thank you! 🧡

Yeah. It's tough times right now. I appreciate the share. I wish I could help you. Unfortunately, I don't have anything either. If I get the opportunity, I'll definitely try.

Most people pick a Starter. He chose loyalty and Fighting-type Pokemon with baggy pants.

@eastsidescrafty.bsky.social was raised through instability and when he was ready to give up, Pokemon became a bridge to survival.

This is what found family looks like.

Lately, I hit a wall. Not because I’ve stopped caring but because I care so deeply. I realized I needed to step back. To breathe. To reconnect with myself. And to give this podcast the space it needs to keep growing into what it’s meant to become.

We’ve been on a bit of a hiatus and the truth is, this podcast asks a lot of the heart. Every episode, we explore real stories, personal struggles, and powerful memories. That’s what makes As the Pokéball Turns so special. It’s also what makes it emotionally demanding to create.

That one Pokemon card...
Maybe it was Charizard?
Maybe it was yours alone?
Edges worn. Corners bent.
It still remembers you when you pull it out.
Because it wasn’t just valuable.
It was part of your story.
