My name is Phoenix, and I'm writing on behalf of my friends Aisia, Tyler, and son Ra. Currently they are experiencing an overwhelming situation, and we're all reaching out to our community for support.

Just a few weeks ago they were managing well, Aisia was between jobs and searching for more, while Tyler was working hard driving and moving to cover their bills. Recently he suffered a severe break in his ankle, causing the need for surgery and (at minimum) 6 weeks of crutches. His ability to work and support Aisia and Ra for the time being has been suddenly halted.

Aisia is still looking for new job opportunities, but alongside the accident, her car has also broken down. While they have Tyler's camper van, they're unable to drive as a family due to safety, and need support getting to and from appointments and errand runs. Without reliable childcare, rideshares, and/or deliveries, they're struggling to navigate their daily lives.

They are facing a hard deadline with a $1960 rent due on February 1st, plus utilities and essential bills adding another $300 on top, and honestly, they're completely overwhelmed and really need help.

They are not asking for a handout, but rather a hand up...

and they have a clear plan to regain their independence:

1. Secure Their Home: Cover rent and utilities for this month to protect their family's stability.

2. Make Their One Vehicle Safe & Reliable: Repair Tyler's van so Aisia can use it to interview for jobs, get to work, and manage their family's needs.

3. Bridge the Gap: Use any additional funds to cover necessities while Tyler heals and Aisia secures employment.

How you can help their family:

•Donate: Every single contribution directly protects their housing and gets them closer to a safe vehicle.

•Share: Sharing this fundraiser is just as powerful as donating. Please spread it on social media, in group chats, or by email.

•Encourage Them: Leave a comment of support below. Your words will give them strength during this incredibly tough time.

We are all asking from our whole hearts to help Aisia, Tyler and Ra heal and make it through the next few weeks so they can continue their own support to all our communities. We all believe in hard work and dedication, and we know they can make it through to deeper self-reliance. Thank you for taking the time to read their story.

We love you so much <3

Aisia, Tyler & Ra
