Support Us
Welcome to the support page of Our Plant Pantry. Here you’ll find our story, why we ask for help, and the ways you can support us.
Why We Need Help
For years, we’ve been stuck in survival mode. We live in my small, hot childhood bedroom in the city, without a kitchen or a space to truly rest. We cook on a desk with a small electric stove. We share one bed — which is also our couch, our table, our everything. We live in noise, in smells, in stress.
This isn’t just uncomfortable. It’s damaging.
We are both neurodivergent. I am autistic, a highly sensitive person (HSP), and I live with ADD, PMDD, PTSD, PCOS, hyperosmie, and chronic migraine. The constant overstimulation around us — sound, scent, chaos — affects me on every level: physically, emotionally, hormonally, neurologically.
Recently, for the first time in almost five years, we managed to spend three nights away from my room. We woke up between Highland cows and red deer. We walked without a destination. We cooked in the open air. And something came back to us — a piece of who we are.
But our vehicle broke down. And we had to return — not because we were ready, but because we had no choice.
That’s when it hit us: living close to nature is not a luxury. It’s a necessity — for our peace, our relationship, and our health.
That’s why we’re asking for help. So we can leave again. So we can reclaim a small piece of freedom. So we can live, instead of just survive.

🟠 Share our story
Can’t give money? That’s okay. Sharing helps too. Pass our link on to someone who might understand. Visibility means everything.
What We Give Back
We create videos, write blogs, and share raw, honest glimpses of our life in nature. We speak about living differently, with less. About neurodivergence, resilience, grief, and hope. About carving out a life that feels real — even if it doesn’t fit into this world.
By supporting us, you’re helping us keep doing this — and helping others feel less alone in a world they don’t feel at home in.
Thank you for being here.
