Help make the future bright!

Donation protected
Hello, I am trying to raise money to help my mom. She has fallen on hard times like so many. She is needing to move into a better place for her and my niece and nephew who she has full custody of. My moms story is a long one. My mom took on fostering my niece and nephew in 2012. They are both special needs and share a rare genetic disorder that runs in our family. 3 months after taking on fostering, my mom lost the love of her life, my Bonus Dad. My mom did not let being stricken with grief and the unknowns slow her from her goal of gaining full custody of my niece and nephew. After much heartache and pain, self growth, and so much love for the kids; my mom gained full custody in 2014 and 2015 of both kids. We have grown as a family, watching my niece and nephew overcome so much and grow so much. As it happens in all of our lives from time to time, life gets rough. Extra medical expense here, car expense there, and things get hard, the future not looking as bright. My mom can not work due to her heart conditions and needing to be there for the kids full time. My mom is 55 and has suffered two heart attacks already, and suffers from other medical issues. She truly puts the kids before herself and loves them from her heart. My mom is needing to move ASAP out of her tiny apartment and into a bigger place. One that my niece and nephew can run and play in a yard, and not upset the neighbors. A place that if my niece is having a bad day, and is overly loud, that my mom won't get a noise complaint against her. We have found a place that will work. We are needing help getting her caught up on her balances with the necessities, ie: waterbill, electric, and helping with the costs of moving. She can't transfer the necessities to the new place until she becomes current with her bills at the soon to be old place. I know times are rough, I ask that if you can spare even just a little to help turn on the lights and make their future bright, it would be greatly appreciated. If you can not, we understand and still love and thank you for taking the time to read this. Please just share this, so others can see it and help to make their future bright. Thank you and many blessings to you❤
