A Little Help to Get Back on My Feet — A Single Mom of Three-

*A small disclaimer I felt very vulnerable putting pictures of myself or my children, but if you’re compelled to help me, I’m more than happy to share whatever you feel I should share with you*

First, thank you for taking a moment to read my story.

Honestly, asking for help is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I’ve gone back and forth about creating this fundraiser because it’s uncomfortable to share my struggles publicly. But sometimes we have to put our pride aside, be vulnerable, and trust that God will open a door when we need it most.

I’m a single mom of three beautiful children. I became a mother at 17, and ever since, I’ve worked hard to provide for my family and give my children the best life I possibly can.

Unfortunately, life took a difficult turn. After years of financial abuse in my relationship with my children’s father, I found myself struggling deeply with my mental health, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I spent a long time trying to hold everything together while carrying more than I knew how to handle.

In the summer of 2025, I allowed my children to spend their summer break with their father, who was living in Mexico at the time. I hoped it would help with childcare while I continued working. However, he ultimately decided not to return the children to me.

At that point, I was already behind on rent and my car payments, and I had received an eviction notice. I had just $500 to my name, but I knew I had to get my children home. So, I took a leap of faith, traveled to Mexico, and thankfully was able to bring them back peacefully.

But when I returned to Colorado, my circumstances had changed completely. I had officially been evicted, and my car had been repossessed.

Since then, I’ve been trying to find my footing again. My mental health struggles have made rebuilding much harder than I ever imagined. I eventually had to move in with my mom, and although I’m grateful to have a place to stay, I’m still working to get back on my feet and create stability for my children.

Right now, one of my biggest obstacles is not having a reliable vehicle.

I am working and doing everything I can to move forward, but living in Colorado without a car makes getting to and from work incredibly difficult. My damaged credit has also made it challenging to qualify for an auto loan.

I’m not asking for a brand-new car or anything fancy. My goal is simply to find a dependable, affordable vehicle that can get me to work, help me care for my children, and allow me to continue rebuilding my life. Ideally, it would be something reliable enough to handle Colorado’s winter weather.

I’m sharing my story because I need a little help getting over this hurdle. I believe that with a reliable vehicle, I can have a better opportunity to keep working, regain my independence, and build a more stable future for my children.

I know everyone has their own struggles, and I understand that not everyone is in a position to give. If you are able to contribute, any amount would mean more to me than I could ever express. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would also be an incredible help.

More than anything, I’m trying to find the strength to start again. I’m placing this in God’s hands and trusting that, somehow, the right people will see this at the right time.

Thank you for reading my story, for your kindness, and for helping a mom who is simply trying to get back on her feet.

May God bless you and your families. ❤️
