If you're here, you know what a special individual Melissa (Maiken) Kruger is. She is strong, determined, passionate, intelligent, and gorgeous inside and out. You also know that she is the last person to ask for help. As a practiced performance artist, she's great at putting on a brave front.
Unfortunately, she's had a really rough time lately, losing love and her home in the midst of a rental crisis in Perth. She's doing her honours, paying her way without loan support, living in a home beyond her means, far from everything she needs to be close to. On top of this, she's recently been diagnosed with some serious mental health conditions which are making the day-to-day hard to bear. She's stretched thin in all manners of the term.
She's admitted that BFT is one of the few things keeping her happy and sane. Due to the circumstances, she can't afford the membership anymore. To support her through these trying times, I'd love to raise the AU$3,000 for an annual membership to keep her shining in and out.
If we can't meet the target, there are options for 3 or 6 months, but I'd really like to reach for the stars here.

WAHOO!!!!!!!!! 🎉 30 September 2023
Friends, you indescribably incredible humans. I'm bawling my bloody eyes out!
I've sent each of you (apart from the anons, whose donations I commented on instead) an email/FB/Whatsapp msg to thank you individually, but I just wanted to say a collective THANK YOU, THANK YOU, *F**KING THANK YOU*!!! for all of your incredible generosity here, too, as a group. For the fuzzies!
I really don't know how to properly show my gratitude, but if there's ever anything I can do for any of you, please, please, PLEASE please reach out. Merely saying the words 'thank you' doesn't feel like enough, so expect hugs and kisses whenever it might be that I'm lucky enough to see you in person next.
I can't tell you how good it felt to pay my local BFT gym for a FULL YEAR of membership today. Is this real? I keep expecting to wake up from a dream!
I'd like to say a special thank you to Kirsten, for setting this up. I'd never have done it for myself. Thank you, babe. You really are just the f**king best. 🖤🌹
I feel SO lucky to have this group of wonderful, sexy, beautiful, generous, kind, compassionate humans as friends.
Love you all to the ends of the universe!!!! (that means infinity!)
Melissa Maiken 💚🌿

Hello, whoever you are. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this incredibly generous donation. I honestly can't wrap my head around this level of anonymous generosity but it has gone a long way towards restoring my faith in humanity. I had the pleasure today of sending the payment for a full year of membership to my local BFT gym, and the fact that my friends have basically gifted me the gift of good health (mental AND physical) just blows me away. I still can’t really believe it. I'm humbled, and grateful, and I wish I could scream THANK YOUUUUUUU from the highest peak in the world but I'll shout it into my computer screen instead, and hopefully it reaches you, because merely typing (or even saying) the words, 'thank you' doesn't feel like nearly enough. I don't know who you are, but I love you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A million times, thank you.

I had the pleasure today of sending the payment for a full year of membership to my local BFT gym, and the fact that my friends have basically gifted me the gift of good health (mental AND physical) just blows me away. I still can’t really believe it. I don't know who you are, but know that I'm grateful <3 Lots of love xxx
