Help Texas Single Mom of 4 Stay in Their Home

Hi, my name is Ilona, and I'm a 46-year-old single mom living in Texas and doing my best to care for my four incredible children: my 14-year-old son and my daughters, ages 12, 10, and 7.

In 2021, our world turned upside down. My husband of 19 years walked away from our family, choosing a different path for himself. Since then, I've been on my own, trying every single day to provide stability, love, and a safe home for my kids.

I've always been a hard worker. I've applied to job after job, done everything I can think of, but for reasons I can't explain, I haven't been able to find steady employment. I wake up every day to fight for my family's future, but lately, the walls are closing in.

We're now facing eviction from our rental home, with bills piling up faster than I can keep track. The school year is about to begin, and I can't afford the basic supplies, let alone the uniforms, backpacks, or shoes. They're such good kids. They've been patient, loving, and brave through all of this. My children deserve to go into their classrooms feeling confident and cared for—not different or left behind because of things they can't control.

This isn't easy to share. I've always believed in working hard and standing strong for my family. But right now, I need help. I'm asking for support from kind-hearted people who believe in second chances, in community, and in helping others stand back up when life knocks them down.

Every dollar will go directly toward:

If you can give—even a small amount—or simply share this with others, you'll be helping more than just financially. You'll be helping me show my kids that there is still kindness in this world.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

With love and hope,

Ilona

Me and my kids - they are my everything.
