Hi everyone, my name is Alyssa, and I’m a mom to an amazing 5-year-old daughter. A few weeks ago, we made a big move from Florida to Tennessee to create a better, more stable life for us. We came here with very little — just a suitcase of our belongings — and after the first of the year, we will be moving into our own place.

While I’m incredibly grateful for this fresh start, we’re currently in need of just about everything to make a home. This includes basic household essentials like beds and bedding, cups, plates, and silverware, pots, pans, and kitchen necessities, towels and cleaning supplies, basic furniture and storage, and items for my daughter as she settles into our new home.

Every donation will go directly toward helping us furnish our home and cover the essentials so my daughter and I can start this next chapter with comfort, dignity, and peace. Asking for help is not easy, but any amount — no matter how small — truly makes a difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to us. Thank you for reading, for your kindness, and for being part of our fresh start. With gratitude, Alyssa.
