Hello, my name is Shay, and I’m reaching out with a humble heart.

Life has taken an incredibly difficult turn recently. For the past few weeks, I’ve been separated from my children due to housing instability. As a parent, nothing is more painful than being apart from your kids, especially when all you want is to give them safety, love, and a place to call home.

The good news is that I’ve found an apartment that is safe, stable, and perfect for me and my children to reunite and begin rebuilding our lives. The difficult part is that the landlord is asking for three months' rent upfront, which I simply don’t have.

This is where I need your help.

I’m doing everything I can to stay strong and push forward, but I can’t do this alone. Every dollar raised will go directly toward:

First, last, and security deposit for the apartment

Essential home items for my kids (beds, clothes, food)

My goal is to raise $ 4,000, which will cover the costs to secure our home and reunite me with my children.

If you’re unable to donate, I completely understand. Just sharing this campaign means the world to me. But if you can help — even a few dollars — you’d be giving my family a second chance and helping us start a new chapter filled with stability, hope, and healing.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
