Rhea, Chris and Baby Ava need your help

Hi! My name is Felicia and on behalf of Rheanna, Chris and baby Ava I’m starting this in order to help some friends in need. Nothing is too small! Please know the money goes directly to them! Also, see their message below!

My husband and I have been suffering in silence on this current situation. But it has gotten to a point where we need to put pride aside and ask the public for help. Unfortunately, having an overdue pregnancy kept me out of work way longer than expected. On top of that the 2 companies I planned on returning to went out of business during my pregnancy. More unsual circumstances made it impossible for me to claim maternity leave in time to keep up with missed bills. Emergency grants I applied to were also denied. Due to so many other factors we are about to find ourselves 2 months behind on rent. My account is overdrawn severely and all my accounts are on the verge of closing. Fortunately, because of help from friends and co-workers we are in the process of securing better paying jobs (some work already started). However, it is not nearly enough to catch up in time and keep us out of a situation where we may face future eviction and debt. I know the state of the economy isn't the greatest at the moment. Everyone is struggling in their own way, but if you have anything to spare, we would be so grateful. Because God is still good, food, utilities, travel costs and all baby items are in good standing. Only the rent and my accounts are in jeopardy. This is no major sob story, quite the opposite, a normal situation, sadly, that is all too common for women in the dance world. Our bodies are how we do our work. When are no longer able, we fall behind, especially if we had little to no time to make a temporary career switch beforehand. If you can find it in your hearts to spare what you can and consider the all dancing moms out there, at least check on them, it would go a long way. I suffered in silence as I saw things falling behind and felt helpless because my body hadn't the ability to go out and help make ends meet as I normally do. My husband has been amazing and worked himself to exhaustion both during and after the pregnancy but we have done all we can to this point. We need your help.
