Emergency Help to Stay Close to My Daughter

Donation protected
I am asking for help during a very difficult and urgent time.

I am currently navigating ongoing legal matters that have significantly impacted my ability to work, secure stable housing, and maintain normal day-to-day stability. Despite actively applying for jobs and working toward rebuilding, the reality is that the process has made it incredibly difficult to get back on my feet quickly.

This has created a situation where I am doing everything I can to follow the process, while still struggling to meet basic needs like housing.

Right now, I have nowhere stable to stay until Thursday, and the only available option is about 30 minutes away from my daughter. With gas costs and my current situation, that distance makes it extremely difficult to see her and be present when she needs me or go to interviews.

Right now, I am trying to stay close enough to support and protect her while also securing safe temporary housing and continuing to handle legal obligations.

The support systems that are supposed to help in situations like this are limited, especially on weekends and in urgent situations.

I am asking for help to:

Stay in a safe, stable environment
Remain close enough to support my daughter
Continue applying for jobs and handling legal responsibilities

This experience has also shown me how quickly housing instability can happen when you’re navigating legal and financial challenges at the same time.

I’m beginning to build a nonprofit, Family Stability Foundation, focused on helping parents and children facing similar circumstances.
Any support makes a real difference right now.

Thank you for helping us get through this.
