Hello Everyone,

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for every prayer, share, and kind word these past months.

On June 1st, my sister passed away unexpectedly. In an instant, her two beautiful kids—my niece and nephew—lost their mom. I brought them into my home, and now I’m raising them alongside my own son. Overnight, we became a family of five.

These kids are grieving, adjusting to a new home, and trying to feel safe again. My biggest goal is to give them as much comfort and stability as possible—warm meals, a roof over their heads, and a home filled with love. But between everyday expenses, new bills, a bigger place for everyone to have a space of their own, Christmas,Birthdays,and School events.....let's be honest the weight can feel heavy.

I took off work for a month to care for the kids and handle everything that came with this sudden loss. Now I’m back at my job at Panera Bread (still making the best coffee in town ☕), but catching up on bills is hard.

Your donation—big or small—will help lift this burden so I can focus on the kids and not just the bills. It means more groceries, school supplies, and everyday needs taken care of. It means peace of mind for me, and more smiles for them.

Thank you for helping me love them through this.
