Help my friends save their family!

Donation protected
Hello everyone! My name is Grete, and I am trying to raise money on behalf of one of my oldest friends, Tashina.

She and her family (partner Steven and three young children) are currently homeless. My friend was laid off and they were kicked out of their house with barely any warning. They've already appealed to their families multiple times with no luck. Only a few family members were willing to help but not in a position to be able to really do so. They've gone through the official channels, including CPS, trying to find housing until they can get back to work. There are no drugs involved, and neither Tashina's nor Steven's families are helping with housing, even for the children, which makes managing a steady job pretty much impossible.

Both Tashina and Steven are work-capable, but without some kind of home base, they are having difficulty finding employment. They are a five-person family living in their car. They are on various housing lists in the Sacramento, CA area, but have had no luck and are now seriously considering putting the kids in the foster system.

Please, if you have anything to spare, they just need to get a foothold back.

This is 5 yr old Kenji.


He enjoys feeding ducks at the park and wearing his Sonic the Hedgehog hat. He helped my mother crack walnuts for an hour just because it was super fun.

This is 3 yr old Luna. 


She doesn't talk much, but finds the magnets on our fridge fascinating and has a pair of fairy wings she just loves to run around in. Everywhere.

This is 9 yr old Ryu. He turns 10 on New Year's Eve.


As you can see, he likes video games! He also likes to read, go to the park, and is one of the most curious kids I've met in a long while.

They could all use a little stability in their lives, and my friends are at the end of their rope. Anything you could give would be much appreciated.
