Hi friend,

If you’re here, it’s because something about my work — my story, my journey, my message — spoke to you.
And I just want to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I created Progressing Not Perfecting out of my own lived experiences — overcoming a 20-year addiction, surviving incarceration, rebuilding my life from scratch — and the belief that healing, hope, and transformation are possible for anyone.

But here’s the truth:
Running this platform, creating life-changing resources, growing this community, and offering support to people who need it most — it all takes time, energy, and yes, financial resources.

If my work has impacted you, inspired you, or if you believe in helping others rise against all odds — I’m asking you to consider making a donation today.
Every dollar goes directly toward my children, creating more free resources, building community spaces, producing recovery tools, and reaching the people who feel forgotten.

I don’t have fancy corporate sponsors. I have you.
And together, we can change lives.

No amount is too small. Every single contribution is felt, appreciated, and fuels the mission forward.

If you can give, thank you.
If you can’t right now, sharing my page, my posts, or simply sending a prayer of support means more than you know.

Let’s keep proving them wrong. Let’s keep showing the world what we can do.

With love and endless gratitude,
Samantha Bushika
Founder, Progressing Not Perfecting
